The transom still reads OAK HARBOR — her old home port.She becomes TANGLEFOOT of Seattle, and stays in her Everett slip for now.

Forecast peak is the model’s highest hour for home water that day, written down on the day it applied to. Station gust is the station’s own maximum for that day, fetched once the day was over — not a sample, and not a running total. Only completed days appear.

Built from NOAA tide and current predictions, NWS coastal zone forecasts and the MET Norway model. Not an official forecast — there is no Coast Guard wind limit for recreational boats, and the one official threshold is the NWS Small Craft Advisory at 20–33 kt sustained. The limits used here sit at roughly half that: a comfort line, not a safety one. Seasons are verified by hand for Marine Area 8-2 only — confirm everything with WDFW and the DOH shellfish safety map.
