An Afternoon On Puget Sound

Starring:
Sally Knightly
Dave Evans
Mark Silver
and
The SV Brandywine
 
 

With his usual attention to detail
Captain Dave checks the charts
before leaving the dock.
**************************************
 

Here is the inside wheel of the SV Brandywine.
***************************************
 

When I took this picture of the control panel, Sally asked me,
"Why are you taking a picture of the fire extinguisher?".
***************************************
 

The entire crew in the wheelhouse.
Notice the remote for the hidden camera concealed in my hand.
***************************************
 

It's cool and raining outside,
Captain Dave warms us up by brewing coffee
in the galley.
***************************************

Sally in the wheelhouse.
If she had been in the galley instead of Dave this caption would have had a nicer ring to it.
***************************************

Dave has a smile despite the rain.
He loves boating, but in this case the camera shoved in his face might have been a factor too.
***************************************

Our very seaworthy dinghy is in tow.
A reassuring sight. Yeah right, it's full of water.
****************************************
 

As we get closer to Poulsbo the weather begins to clear a little bit.
***************************************

Getting ready to dock.
***************************************

Poulsbo Washington.
Hey, the journey is as important as the destination.
We also had a damn fine lunch there.
***************************************

Returning to the Brandywine, Sally strikes her favorite pose for the camera.

******************************

Sally basks as we wait for Dave.
He had gone back into town to buy some more provisions.
***************************************

Get up. It's Time to leave.
**************************

Sally suns on the bow as we are under way.
In this shot Sally is saying the word, "you", to me. Extra points if you can guess the word that proceded this one.
If you need another clue, scroll up and look at the returning to the Brandywine picture again.
****************************************

Another safe passage thanks to Captain Dave.

Thanks for visiting folks.
