Hi Matt, greetings from the Puget Sound. A little different from ferrying the Mersey..
A little jealous of you sailing the Northern Islands, something I need to do some day. Only in the height of summer though. Loved the photos as well.
I do most of my sailing up in the Northwest US now days. The Sound is a great place to sail, Like a big lake with tides! And deep. I'm getting ready to paint the boat...as soon as we get a nice long warm spell that is. Going to do the hull in a nice dark "Flag Blue." Of course it'll be named "Scouse" from a choice of that or Scally! with Liverpool as the hailing port.
I'll put some photos up soon.
Ken
