We went to lovely Jetty Isle today, free big arse boat ride thanks to the Everett Parks department and the Port of Everwett.



Jetty Island started out as a Riprap isle to help direct the mighty Snohomish river over 100 years ago (Nobody liked Rap back then).

More dredging's been done and added to it over the decades and it's now 2 miles long. Barges were sunk in the mid 40's to help define and direct the flow as well.

Kinda like this





Since there was a minus 1.5' tide today at 9am we were on the first big arse boat at 10am.
My loving wife and I were about the first off, across the isle we went and turned North toward the 70+ year old barge bits.

It looked like this when she stepped in front of me, we had left all the other passengers in our dust (sand and muck really).
Had the place to ourselves



Andy!
I found your float, left it here



Barges
