Having owned both RV's and boats you come to recognize the similarities and the differences. As a DIYer, I've benefited from how many components are common to both like water pumps, or the need for a place for everything and everything in its place. Laura and I have cruised the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Gulf Islands in our former Catalina 22 with our young son, so we were accustomed to living life big while living in small spaces. Cruising aboard Sam and Bob Dubay's Catalina 445 was absolutely luxurious with its two separate staterooms and heads.
Thursday, August 2, 2018 - Port Townsend to Port Ludlow
A light drizzle met us Thursday morning. We'd decided the night before to share breakfast together at the Hudson Point Cafe. Laura and I still remember the establishment as the Otter Crossing Cafe, although over the years it's morphed into the "Otter Bay Cafe" I think because of our fawn memories from stays at the Otter Bay Marina on North Pender Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands. While the Hudson Point Cafe only does breakfast and lunch, and they do those very well. I highly recommend the cherry cornmeal flapjacks.

We got underway by noon and started the two hours, fourteen nautical mile trip to Port Ludlow. The drizzle was gone and the day was starting to warm up. The sixty-five-foot mast of Forever More meant we couldn't fit under the bridge that connects to Indian Island, so we head directly to Admiralty Inlet before heading south.

It was an easy run to Port Ludlow. While the wind was light and we didn't get to sail, the scenery was spectacular even under the gray skies.
