The Lady Washington and the Hawaiin Chieftain spent the last two days in the harbor. They were open for tour and if you had $65.00 to spare, you could even go for an afternoon cruise.
Once out of the harbor, they lowered their sails, manned their guns and had an old fashioned cannon fight, without the cannon balls and I hope with earplugs. It was a beautiful day for sailing and I am sure everyone got their money's worth.
I kept thinking as I watched them under sail, those people who made that trip across the
Atlantic in the 1600's, on one of those tiny ships, were mighty brave and we owe them so much for perservering.

Today they will head for Port Townsend
