This passing weekend finally brought fall’s rain and wind, closing the golden late-summer we enjoyed for so long. We finally took a well-deserved (I think, at least) sailing trip after a summer of serious construction. The Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival was a swimming success (although not any more relaxing than the preparation for it). Here’s a peek at September:

Wow I have long been yearning and looking forward for such a great getaway! I hope I would run into that just before this year ends. Bon voyage and be safe!
