In the photo above, please note the band of low cloud (fog) along the shore of Whidbey Island across Puget Sound from the Port Townsend waterfront. We had the fog earlier, but it had burned off hours ago. I was surprised there was still some left across the way. The snowy peak is Mt Baker, the northern most of the Cascade volcanoes.
Below the new walkway on the top of the new breakwater at Hudson Point Marina, a great spot to watch the ferry come and go.
This was taken from the waterfront at Port Townsend, looking south to the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains. A brief break in the shower activity that day. The ferry runs across Puget Sound to Whidbey Island and the Coupeville landing.

Sometimes I take the ferry from Port Townsend across to Coupeville on Whidbey Island just for the ride. And the photo op. This photo of the waterfront with Mt Baker in the distance was taken from the ferry while waiting for the cars/trucks to finish boarding in PT.
When I visited Haines, Alaska a couple times, I stayed in a small cabin close to the ferry terminal. As I was out for an after-dinner walk, I got this image of an old truck with one of the Alaska ferries in the distance. This is one of the smaller ferries that usually runs between towns, not the larger vessels that make the run from Bellingham, Washington.
The cabin had a number of grouse living in the yard. They were quite tame and I think were looking for handouts. I gave them a copy of my itinerary, but they didn’t seem interested in that type of handout.
Further down Lynn Canal from my previous post (same trip on the Alaska ferry), these images caught my eye while doing some organizing and re-processing. The sunset was pretty spectacular. These were taken about 30 minutes apart.
