Day Two

Today our membership in the local sailing club finally paid for itself.  One of the benefits is being able to get reciprocal moorage at many different places.  And today, the free moorage benefits exceeded a years membership dues.  Always a nice feeling.  And I am glad we are tied up because the winds are gale force according to the marine forecast, they are pushing us around quite a bit and we have messed with the halyards several times and can not seem to make, and keep, them from banging.

Today we saw Orca, or killer, Whales.  Very cool.  We saw them for a good three or four minutes before they dove and were not spotted again.  We didn't even try to get a picture though, they didn't come up at regular predictable intervals like the dolphins, and those were insane hard to get the, not even very good, picture that we got yesterday.

Today's bridge photo was taken under the Port Townsend Canal bridge.  It was actually scarier then the Narrows, MUCH closer and no way to not go through once we entered the canal.

As you can see, we once again were going directly into the wind.

We plan on sticking around here for the week so that Outdoor Dad can work  at his day job, we have a plan to visit all the toy stores as well as several of the museums and parks.

Cheers,
Outdoor Mom
