Weekend Cruise to the Butchart Gardens Day Three

Skipper: Scott Karren
Guests: Tom Karren, Rob Karren, Sue Karren.
Weather: Mostly sunny
Seas: Calm
Engine Hours: 29.1 - 36.0
Destination: Kingston, WA

Moored for the night at Todd Inlet, spent the afternoon at Butchart Gardens after putting Origami, our dinghy, together. We actually got a mooring buoy! Lots of loons, herons and geese.

When we put Origami together, we engaged in rusty combat against boat and bolt on the bow, but Dad's imagination saved the day. He turned bungee cords into seat latches! It took the better part of the hour. Bolts rusty, needed pliers. Launched, docked, and retrieved off the bow.
Cooked risotto with chicken for the first hot meal on the boat. Served with chopped vegies, cheese, and salami. Breakfast was scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Boys went for a morning row.

Cleared US Customs @ 1:05 P.M.
Got home at 4:00 P.M.

Maintenance Log
***Need hot water w/o shore power. Scott rivals the herons when he showers cold!
