Our Southerly 480 sailboat, Distant Shores III, arrives by yacht transport ship in the Pacific Northwest to be received by her new owners. Paul flies to Seattle WA to do the official handover and say goodbye to Distant Shores III. It is Paul’s first time sailing in this area and he learns what a special cruising ground is to be found in Puget Sound and surrounds.
