Thanks for a great time in the PNW

We launched our boat in Everett on June 26th after traveling close to 4,000 miles from Florida. We put the boat on the trailer yesterday and we are on our way back to Florida. It was great meeting some of you that I have had the pleasure of corresponding with over the past five years. The Rendezvous in Roche Harbor is a tribute to Ranger and their ability to create so much enthusiasm among the owners of the Tugs and Cutwaters. Great product along with good service is an easy formula and they get it. The community created is an outstanding community and Jess & I are fortunate to be part of it.

The PNW is a long way from where we cruise so we tried to get in as much as we could. We traveled 1,194 miles and covered what we could from Olympia to Toba Inlet in Desolation Sound including the San Juans, Victoria, Gulf Islands Princess Louisa Inlet and Vancouver. You have great cruising grounds and cruising was quite different than the east coast so we learned a lot. Especially to always take quarters or loonies to the shower!!

Thanks to everyone who made our trip wonderful!

Mike & Jess Rizzo

PS. We hope to see some of you at the 2017 Southwest Florida Rendezvous Feb 10th thru 13th

As another couple who also trailered our R27 to the PNW for some extended cruising we agree with Mike and Jess' post 100%. Lots of great memories were made this summer, along with meeting meeting new people and catching up with others. As we trailered Kismet out of Washington I mentioned to Lisa how the PNW cruising grounds seem like home. We hope to be back in a couple of years. There is no better boating community then what we have with Ranger Tug/Cutwater.

Great deal thanks to Ranger Tugs for a great boat trouble free vessel; for a great adventure by land and by sea. I echo the words of Mike and Jim and express my gratitude for the great time at Roche Harbor. A special thanks to Garmin for their support in fixing a tired 6 year old system so now it's fully functional. My hats off to the Garmin team.
It's been a wonderful journey and adventure towing the Alice J from Florida to Prince Rupert cruising to Sika back to Prince Rupert, towing to the Rendevuous, it's a perfect RV and coastal cruiser. Returning to Florida by a southern route to miss the snows
