Snow covered decks ... Beautiful? Tragic? Bit of both? #seattlesnow 90 3
We spied a few transient orca out on the Sound today! 108 3
Chilly, chilly, chilly out this morning!  Must mean winter sailing season is upon us! Looking forward to more days like this one from a couple years ago - all bundled up, warm beverages in our cups, and a brisk breeze on our faces. #salishsea #sailing 87 2
#throwbackthursday to 1 month ago when @citygirlandthesea and I were snugly stern tied to Eveleigh Island in Prideaux Haven and hadn’t a care in the world. Seems like so many moons ago. #sailing #desolationsound #norseman447 #prideauxhaven 131 3
Happy Anniversary to my lovely partner in all things @citygirlandthesea I’m a lucky guy. 68 1
A nice end to our summer crabbing season #salishsea #rockcrab 76 1
