Port Townsend Boating Mishap
High winds and unusual sea conditions prevailed in Port Townsend on Friday morning, causing this craft to end up on the beach. Those aboard were rescued by the Coast Guard as onlookers watched.
In the far distance is Point Wilson Lighthouse and the Straits of San Juan De Fuca. Normally a very quiet inlet with no waves, and the biggest threat is usually floating logs.
Sandra ~ Beached Sailboat in Port Townsend great post
Oops I should have paid attention to the boaters warning on the news this morning.
Sandra - that's an interesting photo! I like the rainbow ... Don't you love living near the ocean! We've had more rain than wind here in Victoria this past week.
Cheers.

It is wonderful having this beautiful water in my back yard. There is always something interesting to see there, even if it is only the change in the weather. We are truly fortunate. Thanks for checking out my post. The photo was taken by my son, and I am not sure wether he had his camera or if it was his cell phone.
Hi, Sandra. I love the way pictures suggest posts. I can almost smell the salt air, looking at this one. I always enjoy reading yours and learning more about your area.
Leslie, thanks so much for taking the time to read...this picture was taken by my son on one of his walks. Always good to have your camera with you.
