We have two options for moorage
A salt water slip at chinook marina located by tacoma washington. Seems like a nice spot but there does appear to be a good current between tides.
Marina is about 45 minutes from home
The fresh water site is at a yacht club, good security. It is in the duwamish river about about 6 miles up-stream. The negative with this slip is the water level at low tide. We were there today at a minus 1.9 and there was about a foot of water. The silt has been slowly filling the marina. Its really soft. I pushed my tape measure into it about three feet without bending the tape.Obviously one wouldnt want to leave at a minus tide but there is a quest dock that always has good water so if one came in at low tide then we would tie up to the quest dock then move to the slip once water came back up.
This marina is about 10 minutes from the house.
