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…

We got up this morning and left Port Townsend by about 8:30am (and not at the "crack of dawn" as we'd planned). The wind was from the south and had been blowing pretty good all night, but by morning it had subsided quite a bit. We never saw the 2-4…

This morning after breakfast, Kevin got out the quadcopter and we headed over to Fox Cove to do a few flights so we wouldn't disturb our dock neighbors. Kevin flew and I took photos of rocks on the beach (that first one is a rock too, you just can't see…
