Brownsville to Silverdale

Boating season doesn't officially begin for another month, but in eager anticipation for opening day, we took our vessle out for sea trials, and to get pizza. Over the Winter, my friend Dain's 17' C(h)ampion was upgraded from a Yamaha 75 to a newer Johnson 90 to help us cut through the torrents of Sinclair Inlet and Puget Sound.

With daylight running out, we took off in a hurry

At the Silverdale Marina I came across
THE strongest hand air-dryer machine EVER!
It was quite an experience to FEEL THE POWER!

The Papa John's KONG Pizza--extra large pepperoni and extra large Italian sausage
It makes for extra large poops
We called and ordered the pizza from the middle of Dyes Inlet
The kid on the phone thought it was a joke when we asked if he could deliver a pizza to the Silverdale marina
He didn't believe us, so we told him to look out his window for the only boat in the inlet
Our pizza was delivered in record time

At the end of the evening, we figured we boated roughly 28 miles to get a pizza that was only 5 miles away by car. Despite the chilly temperature and the choppiness of the sound that evening, pictures and views like this are totally worth the torment and serve as a reminder of how awesome the Puget Sound is.
