We missed last year after an unexpected little toe amputation.  This year we're 
getting Alera ready for a full season.  Just got the cover off, full cleaning 
this week then over to Gig Harbor for a needed haul out and everything that 
goes with it.

See you west coaster at the Rendezvous inn August.
