Port Ludlow

According to Officer Barnes at U.S. Customs in Friday Harbor, the T-bird remains a Canadian vessel until registered in the U.S.

We arrived at Port Ludlow at about four o'clock in the evening on Monday when the first of two set-backs in Port Ludlow occurred.

While walking back from the Port Ludlow Marina office Joe discovered that his pipe was missing. After a quick inventory of his pockets and a thorough search of the boat it was clear that the pipe, the little crew member (LCM), had gone overboard as we were securing the T-bird to the dock. Joe tried to play it off as no big deal, and claimed he could go without for the remaining day of the trip, I knew action had to be taken if we were to have a stress free trip down to Seattle the following day.

Fortunately, my mom, Dee, was was up at the house on Marrowstone at the time and was en route to pick us up from Port Ludlow. First order of business? A trip to Port Townsend to find a replacement for LCM.
