Last days in Port Townsend

 We went in search of the infamous Glass Beach yesterday, but about all we found was a dead crab and bunch of sand and rocks.  Jane walked a little further than the rest of us and was able to find a little sea glass, but we heard later that most of it is a 4 mile hike down the beach!


Later in the day, Mark had signed up Rose and I to take longboat sailing lesson.  We had to row out to the bay before we could put the sails up.  The oars were 35 pounds of heavy wood each!  We made it and learned a "little" bit about sailing on the big seas!




        This is Ted....mad again about not getting to go with on the sailing lesson, but you had to be 12!



Today we drove about an hour to the town of Port Angeles and took an hour ferry ride to Victoria, B.C.  It was a beautiful day for a boat ride and we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some whales!  Wish we could have snapped a few pictures!

I don't think we had the time to take in Victoria and all of it's ins and outs.  Maybe someday we will stop back through.
