Northport Bay, Fireworks, Bridgeport but NO Super Duper Weenie

We moved from the Coast Guard Station anchorage to a spot closer to town, as we had packages waiting for us at an Amazon locker hub.   Unfortunately the anchorage area is way out in the bay, as Northport bay is quite full of moorings.   I took a nice 360 photo of the area, but technical difficulties prevent me from including it.  (Don't know what happened to it, I think it was an age failure)   In addition, the anchorage was quite bouncy from passing boat wakes.   With a catamaran, short choppy wakes from the beam (side) are the worst, as the two hulls fight each other going up and down.  That what we were getting.  After two days, we hoisted anchor and moved to a much quieter spot.  Longer dinghy ride to town, but well worth it.

We had the place to ourselves, until the weekend, when lots more boats came in.

See 360 video of anchorage. 




Went to town several times.  Was a long dinghy ride.   Most harbors in this area are full of mooring balls.  That is how people store thier boats, versus marina, although there are marinas as well.   To get to town, you have to go through the mooring field.

Weather was chilly for a couple of days, - well chilly for some of us.


We did get to see a nice 4th of July fireworks show, many in fact.  Two city sponsored ones, a bit further from the boat, and three private ones much closer.




After the 4th we moved over to Black Rock Harbor.  



 This is where we first had What If, and where she was on the hard for a year while we worked on her.  We stopped here so we could go to town, and have lunch at Super Duper Weenie.  Walked in for lunch, and met an old friend from Deans working days, only to find Super Duper was closed for 3 days for remodeling.   Oh Well, we will come back by this way.
