We drove around the city of Anacortes for a while before our scheduled appointment for the van and I drove along the waterfront. It is very much a working waterfront with large shipyards and I saw this:
Lisa took the photo (she is also into photography). Readers may know that I majored in Marine Biology and Physical Oceanography at Boston University many eons ago. I dropped out when I discovered that there was no money in it - everyone else ALSO wanted to be Jacques Cousteau. Fortunately, the whole personal computer thing was starting to erupt so went over to that and did OK.
Was never on this ship (did visit one of her sister ships - the Thomas Thompson at UW several times) but spent a few months down at WHOI for a class and absolutely loved it. These are my roots and part of why I love living at the ocean's edge these days.
