I had just watched the horror movie THE FOG on Halloween when the next day a thick fog came into Sequim bay. But if lightly lifted just around the marina to give me this shot for just a few seconds.

Disney Wonder
Precovid at least 5 LARGE cruise ships passed thru the straight on the way to Alaska. They almost all stopped in Victoria, where we found the Disney Wonder.
I loved the Donald Duck and Nephew characters hanging off the stern.
We are finally seeing at least three 3 ships every week now..sometimes more.
Up a creek without a paddle–
Well a bay without an oar..but you get the picture. My husband was crabbing in in Sequim Bay, but the oar lock doesnt work and the oar kept coming out and floating away. Here her rescued it…but his expression tells it all!
Faraway Friday–Coming back in after a long but AMAZING afternoon in the Arctic.
Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival
Every September Port Townsend hosts the Wooden Boat Festival (unless there is a raging pandemic of course!)
Boat makers show their wares. Owners let people board their vessels. It’s a boat street festival with people from all over the united states attending.
I was able to get this shot early before anyone had arrived. Processed in Topaz 2 to give it a painterly effect.
Beautiful Bokeh on Lake Crescent
Love this photo by my friend Witta Priester.
My husband captained a group of photography friends and I on our boat around Lake Crescent. Witta shot this from the dock at the Storm King Station.
OOPS…
I wish I could have taken this 20 minutes sooner when the boat was 45 degrees sideways. He is not the first sailboat to not read the tide charts correctly and get beached. It was a BIG sailboat. If you zoom in you’ll see him at the left/back inspecting the boat. He did get released about 5 hours later and moved to deeper water.
The mountains and buildings in the far background are actually Vancouver Island, across the straight.
