Friday, August 10: Trail the boat to Bellingham and launch

We left home before lunchtime and trailed Whisper up Interstate 5 to Bellingham, hours ahead of a major traffic restriction in the Seattle area. On Friday morning, Squalicum Harbor Marina staff emailed us different directions to find the marina, and except for taking one wrong turn, it was a much easier route. I will definitely use their route next time!

Kokomo was already launched when we arrived, so we talked with Dan as he helped us rig Whisper for launch. We walked to Squalicum Harbor Marina office to pay for overnight moorage, and because the visitor spots were full, we were situated in long slips in the commercial boats section.

After a nice dinner at the Sensa restaurant and some rearranging of the boat, we spent a quiet night at the dock.
