Arrived Oak Harbor Marina, Whidbey Island, WA. Relief, WA traffic on I5 always very slow.

Reported progress to Cathy, Helsleys, Lee, Lee's sister Janet, Mitch (my friend in Vancouver/Bellingham), parents, and Bill (the previous boat owner).

Tomorrow and probably more days will be busy:

• breakfast with Janet, who happens to be on the island here, working on her Dad's boat (which is also here in same marina).
• modify outboard mount, which doesnt fit the new outboard.
• meet Bill so he can pickup some misc property i still have.
• replace alternator, which Bill lately replaced as a precaution before sale, but the new unit is putting out way too much volts (16.5, should be max 14). He says the old alternator is still aboard, so i hope to just replace it with the old 1.
• load up the boat with all the supplies and equipment i brought.
• coordinate with Hanna, a local Mitch knows, who'll take my truck til it gets transferred over to Mitch.
• ask the marina folks if i can stay a couple extra days, since there's a lot to do.

Now that i'm here and hands-on, feeling much better.
