Sasquatch, Fish and Flowers in Seattle

It's astonishing to me how quickly we are able to fall into habits and routine. By my third morning in Port Townsend I woke up fully expecting and ready to go crabbing. I'm pretty sure I would have been a little thrown off my game if we hadn't. Heading out onto the water in a …

Bikes And Crab And Music, Oh My!

My very first day in Port Townsend I went crabbing and hiking which would be a pretty tough day to beat for anyone except the exceptional Dick and Diana.

I am lucky enough to be friends with Tom (henceforth known as the Eclipse Maestro) who scoped out a spot to watch the eclipse and …
