MV "Beverly Jane"

Home safe in Seattle! Some stats:

- 2800nm traveled over 93 days beginning May 13th

- 29 days in port vs 64 days at anchor

- 3 guest couples aboard - over the best 3 weeks 😃

- Hundreds of whales 🐋 and bald eagles, lots of brown bears 🐻, sea otters, and other wildlife. The bear spray can was never used.

- Zero mechanical or systems issues. One destroyed tender outboard propellor, replaced. 😬 One lost orange ball fender. If you see it please grab it.

- 2500 gallons of freshwater made from saltwater with the new Bluewater watermaker

- Never had to start the generator solely to recharge House batteries after 920ah LiFePO battery upgrade; we ran the generator ~2hrs per day making water, heating water, and doing laundry.

Thanks for checking in and following along with your encouraging 😀 words - this full retirement trip has been a goal for some time now.

Almost home... a looong 137nm day transiting from the Broken Group through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Had a nice push most of the day by running faster and conditions were excellent ...Seattle tomorrow

Tonight's anchorage... likely the last scenic cove of many this trip.
