Winter in Anacortes

We’ve finally made the move from Seattle up to Anacortes, where we own, but have rented out for the past couple of years, a condo in Skyline.  The condo is having some remodeling done, so we’ve been living on the boat for the past couple of weeks.  We were greeted with plenty of snow and cold weather, as you can see here.

We survived the winter weather surprisingly well. The boat stays plenty warm, though we are giving the diesel heater a big workout.  The biggest issue has been water (getting a bit low) and holding tank (getting a bit high).  The local pumpout guy made it over after the worst of the snow, and as soon as it warmed up, we will fill up the water tanks.

Here’s the view out of the port side of the pilothouse.

And one looking back up towards the condo.  Our unit is just to the left, out of this photo.

This was the view looking south from the Skyline Marina entrance the day after the storms.
