“Puffin (also Skyt)” Typhoon — Hull #1

· Now: ·

We did many day sails out of Shilshole marina, just crossing the sound or sailing north and south. We had a complete boom tent made and Ken made a wooden platform to go between the seats in the cockpit. We spent a week sailing around Puget Sound, camping on the boat. With the huge cockpit of the daysailer, it was very comfortable. At one point we had been to Paulsbo and as we approached the main sound, we observed a lot more weather fully involved with large waves and whitecaps We reefed the main prior to sailing out into the main Puget Sound. We needed to cross the sound sailing slightly south to the Chittenden Locks. This was the most wind I had ever encountered on this little boat. We were about a third of the way across when a coast guard boat came up. It appeared to be observing us. I was sailing and Ken was bailing, but in our opinion, the boat was handling the conditions really well. After a few minutes, the coast guard moved on, heading south down the sound. We got to Shilshole and put the boat on the gas dock. We decided against going thru the locks at that time. We were exhausted and exhilarated from our wild ride! We later learned that the coast guard had towed in 40 boats that day! Thankfully, we were not one of them — story by K. & J. E.
