We arrived in Seattle at about 06:00 this morning and quickly broke tow and handed off the barge to the guys at Western Towboat and then immediately high-tailed it north to Everett. When you're running free on a tug, it's called "light boat".
We got to Everett around 09:00, offloaded the trash for the FDA inspector to check out and then packed the car and headed south. I had to drop our 2nd Mate off at the airport and then I was southbound to Portland to grab a flight home.
Good trip, relatively speaking. Good crew, good boat, bad weather and a long boring crossing. I really don't like the long boring runs and would prefer to be engaged more on a daily basis with new sites, new ports, different scenarios, but I'm glad to have gotten the trip at this point in the year when most of those "other" trips are dwindling.
At any rate... Glad to be off the boat. Glad to be off the ocean. Glad to be going home.
Now it's holidays!
