Last year we had such a good time at Port Townsend over the 4th that we decided to go back this year. We left on Friday, the 3rd with no wind all the way down. This was fine with Karen (Charnell and Tom Tredway)... no chance for sea sickness!
Got in after lunch about 1:00 and toured the downtown area. Marie had brought along homemade ice cream. I really wanted some in town, but I felt too guilty since we had it on the boat.
Had great sushi for dinner at a Japanese Restaurant in town.
On the 4th, we hiked along the beach to Fort Warden and explored the Fort areas. Tom and I reurned early so I could go set the crab pot for dinner. When I came back to the boat, Tom was taking a snooze so I skedaddled into town. Managed to get an ice cream there on the sly.
Got back to the boat, checked the crab pot, but it had only rock crab... but that was enough for a crab louie side dish for all... Main dish was Marie's homemade spinach ravioli... We ate pretty high on the hog.
At 7:00 p.m., we took in a concert at the Fiddle Tunes Festival at Fort Warden. As the last performers were finishing their program, the fireworks started in the bay below the fort. Walked back to the boat and finished off the ice cream.
Left the dock heading north at 8:30 a.m... no wind but the tides were with us. Back in Anacortes by 1:30. Had a great time with great friends!
