With the proper paperwork filed on the CBP application we called into the boarder protection hot line and were approved for arrival with no need to stop into the customs dock. We decided to meet up with the Tyee Yacht Club San Wandering cruise which was already on-going at Sucia Island. We met them in Echo Bay and entered to trumpets blaring and much pomp and circumstance. Well, in reality we just joined a happy hour and told tales of the sea and far away travels for many hours.
The San Wandering cruise continued to Deer Harbor, and then to Reid Harbor where we had a raft up of 5 boats. Following this I moved to Roche Harbor where I put the boat in the marina for a couple of days while I flew back to Seattle to meet a very special new member of the family, Matteo Alexander Restelli. My first Grandson. I was very excited to meet him and he seems like a great little guy.
just for the record -- 9.3 lbs, 21 inches. We don't have little boys in this family.
I also had a great calm flight and I had the co-pilot seat along the way.
That was a great day and I am happy to report that Mom and baby are doing well.
