Anyone with a map may reasonably question why we chose to travel to Vashon Island via Poulsbo. Two words: cheap diesel.
We slept at anchor in Liberty Bay and were treated to the view of Mt. Rainer you see above.
Our route the next morning took us south along the western side of Bainbridge and through Rich Passage. From there we passed Blake Island and followed Colvos Passage along Vashon Island’s western side. Colvos is weird. The current almost always flows north on both rising and falling tides.
Never get tired of gazing at “The Mountain.”
The owners of the beached boat aptly named her Temptation…. maybe the beach should be named Siren. How did Temptation get beached? Will high tide rescue her?? I’m a landlubber and my only knowledge of boating come from reading The Curve of Time and Moby Dick. And your adventures on Etude.
Beautiful photos of Rainier
Thanks. I had to fiddle with color profiles using Lightroom to get the mountain to emerge. I hate doing that. Once you start fiddling with what the camera captured, you might as well be painting. Perhaps Barry disagrees.
The best pic on this one is the cover photo.
