My son and I left Seattle on Tuesday at 12:30, heading for Port Townsend to pick up our PT Skiff kit. We caught the 1:40 Edmonds to Kingston ferry with time to spare and arrived in PT at 3:00.

Russell was there at his shop waiting our arrival and had the boxes ready to go. He showed us what each box had in it, showed us the marks for cutting the fiberglass cloth, and about then Ashlyn arrived up with the plans; and the receipt.

Russell was kind enough to let me borrow his cradle. Being that it was 10 feet long, and the biggest item, it went in first, follow by the long wooden box, the two cardboard boxes, and finally the box of fiberglass and plans.


All loaded. We wrapped the cradle in a tarp as it stuck out the back about a foot.

We were back at the Kingston ferry terminal for the 5:40 ferry and unloaded the kit in Edmonds at Cassey’s shop. Today Casey prepared the work table, Friday we’re planning the first work day
