0900 position 48-18N 122-55W. Crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca
Tom picked us up at 9AM yesterday and drove us up to have a look at his current construction project, a $7M, 7,000 SF home up near the highest peak on San Juan Island. It was Sunday, so there was no work going on which gave us free reign to explore the construction site.
The house is perched on the edge of a cliff, and will have a cantilevered infinity pool that overhangs the edge. Most of the site work is done, the concrete and steel framing is nearing completion, and they are just about to get started on framing the home. Moving materials is one of the challenges on the steep site, so Tom purchased and installed a tower crane to make this job easier.
They had already finished the $1M guest house/garage which was completed first to try out some finishes and construction techniques being considered for the main house.
It was a very impressive project, and fun to see how the 1/2 of 1% live.
Tom came out for a tour of Thankful and then Matt and I departed for the south end of Lopez Island. The Strait of Juan de Fuca was not cooperating yesterday, so we planned to wait for better weather today to make the crossing. We anchored in Mackaye Harbor right at the south end of the island and had a pleasant evening.
We departed for Port Townsend at 730AM this morning. Team Thankful is about half way across the strait now, and the weather is perfect. There is no wind and the sea is calm. We should get there by 10AM.
