Day 1 - Port Madison, Bainbridge Island

Jason and I left on our journey to the San Juan and Gulf Islands on Friday, July 20th.  We got a bit of a late start because I wanted to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and Jason was waiting for a package.  In the package was our monogrammed shirts, jackets, welcome mat, and fender covers. Yes, we are becoming those people who wear matching clothing.  We left the slip, gased up at the fuel dock, and $550 later, we were off!  We got through the locks with ease and headed right to Port Madison, an SYC outstation on Bainbridge Island.  We were one of a handful of boats there for the night. We cooked dinner on the stove in the galley for the first time, walked the grounds, and Jason happily put the new fender covers on the fenders.  All in all, a quiet evening gearing up for the long ride the next morning.
