Seattle, Day 2.

Good Morning Stuffy World! Sandy  Bear and Little Fox in charge of the blog today.  Do you see us on this statue?  You have to look hard but we are here.

We are checking in today from the Port of Edmonds today. Lot's of boats to explore.

The port has a nice fishing pier.  You can walk about 200 feet on a pier to a fishing ramp.  Lot's of people fishing but no one is catching anything.  Drat, no fresh fish for this bear.

Lot's of fancy boats are parked at this port.  Part of the reason it's so popular is that people can drive from Seattle to Edmonds relatively easily and have access to the Puget Sound without having to go through the Ballard Locks (which get beary beary busy on a nice summer weekend). 

The port is quiet today.  Off to the left you can see the Edmonds Yacht Club.  Little Fox isn't a member so we can't explore that building but we did find an open gate the port so we can explore the boats. 

Apparenttly the gate was open because they had a wooden yacht festival yesterday and today.  Lot's of old boats from the 1910s to the 1950s.  Similar to a classic car show but for boats. 

Old boats are like old cars. An expensive hobby to keep up.  

I christen thee, the "SS Stuffy" offering free rides for all stuffies.  Unfortunately, maritime law does not recognize stuffy ships so the free ride part probably won't happen.  A fancy restaurant with views of the harbor are in the background.  Sigh, they are only open for brunch today.  

What a nice day.  What's that in the background? Cruise ship?

Not a cruise ship, a state ferry.  The Edmonds ferry travels between Edmonds and Kingston on the Olympic Peninsula. About a 20 minute ferry ride, perhaps on another day. 

Back home.  Time to say goodbye to my stuffy guests.  Back to Oregon today.
