Doing the Bainbridge Loop with the Lenz Sisters

Stardate Tuesday June 30, 2009, Paul & Mag Wilhour along with Lar & Deb decided to go sailing.

Day was just about as good as it gets in Seattle.

Paul Dean decides to take over the ship. After his 30 second training session he was good to go.

Paul Dean is now loose as a Goose after his training was complete. This is when captain talks crew into sailing around Bainbridge Island. Crew offered up some resistance, but Captain prevails.





The twisted Lenz Sisters are fairly mellow at this point.


Encountered many beautiful homes on the East side of Bainbridge and on the west side of the peninsula




We looked back after we ran the Diesel Engine and wow was our boat smoking. The democrats on Bainbridge were not happy (Just kidding here folks,.. it was actually a fire of some sort just after we passed under the Bainbridge Bridge to the peninsula).



Deb was doing some risky behavior here. I think she was looking for Sea Lions.




Captain shows "All is Well Sign". 1 of 2 engine cylinders are operational but this cyclinder is firing at full operating capacity.






Even Mag was cool at this point. She didn't have any training. Evidently she is a natural.



We are back in Elliot Bay, with Mount Rainier in the Background, playing "Dodge the Ferry". We actually had another Ferry on the other side of us at this point but with great skill and judgement we successfully maneuvered between them. A couple of the Crew members were freaking but they did survive the adventure.
