Pictures from Port Townsend


View from the trail area above Wilson Point, the lookout above the Fort Wardon that was built in 1896 to protect Puget Sound...


One of the many, many Victorian homes in Port Townsend...


Deer everywhere, eating all the garden flowers, etc...


Bell Tower, on a cliff above the ocean. A ships captain donated the bell to the city on the promise that it would be rung any time there was fog. This is still true today, with the gong of guidance for all mariners...


Beautiful, beautiful...


More of the homes...




The Public Trail in downtown Port Townsend, quite a surprise on our morning run, meandering through the forest above the harbor..


This was the spray from the rough seas entering the Port yesterday...




This is where we wound up. The wind was from the far end of the marina entrance, and it literally blew us to this dock. Our bow and stern thrusters would not hold against the 35 Kt winds that were tail winds on entering, but starboard beam winds when we tried to turn right to enter a slip....
