When we arrived in Poulsbo we walked around town a bit, visited the Sluy Bakery (which is a must when you go to Poulsbo) and then went out to dinner at The Dockside restaurant next to the pier.
We had planned to take our time going back to Everett but a big storm was moving in so we left about 8:00am. It was very rough and I had a lot of items falling off shelves. I should have secured things before we left Poulsbo but I did not expect the storm to hit while we were still enroute. We made it back to Everett just fine but the wind was blowing about 35mph when we arrived.
When we arrived at our slip it was so windy Bob had a very difficult time getting it into our slip. He has been boating his entire life and is very good at maneuvering a boat but this was crazy. Every time he tried to pull into our slip, the wind blew us at an angle to the dock. He had to pull back out into the fairway and try again. Two other boat owners came to our slip to assist. Bob tried going in stern first as well as bow in but nothing was working. Another boat was waiting for us to get into ours so they could go to theirs but it added to the stress knowing they were waiting. Bob motioned for them to go ahead and they were unable to dock, also, so they left and went to the guest dock. Bob tried one more time bow-in and with the help of the captains on the dock we were able to get safely docked.
