The inside of Airship was bathed in the most amazing light during this morning's sunrise: pinks, oranges, yellows…a nice way to start the work day! (That's Orcas Island, in the far distance.) Kevin just said "People are going to think that photo is fake." Me: "Why??" Him: "Because, you? Up…

Roche Harbor this morning was frosty cold and sunny! We went up to the Lime Kiln Cafe for a little breakfast, and then filled up the water tank on Airship before heading out. Frost on the Flemish Flake (look mom, just like grandpa taught me!): We decided to go to…

Later this afternoon we took the boat out for a little cruise out toward Fort Worden and Point Wilson just for fun. It was 3pm when we left, so it was a short one, since sunset is at like 2pm these days! (Okay 4:23pm. Still.) Heron on the way out…

This afternoon we took off and wandered around Port Townsend some more. We took the steps at the Haller Fountain up to the upper cliff and explored around up there a bit. Port Townsend is considered one of the finest examples of a Victorian Seaport in the United States…so much…

It was a gorgeous foggy morning in Port Townsend early this morning. Now, it's just all purple and silver. (iPhone photo, no filter, taken from the boat at Point Hudson Marina and RV Park) We're working while breakfast is in the oven, and later today we'll probably go wander around town…
