| Captain Troy invited us on another sailing trip. Here we see Debra and the kids relaxing. | Gathering up the bumpers. | Pulling away from Shilshole Marina. | Troy’s friend Heidi was aboard too. | The boys really enjoyed hanging out on the foredeck with her. | It’s always cool out on the water, but with some sun it can be very nice. |
| Heidi and our captain. | We always see other interesting boats, including this marketing platform for Budweiser. | The captain at the helm. | More relaxing (if you look carefully, you can see Innaias in the photo too). | Guinness and Heidi. | It can be tricky getting a shot of the entire boat, while standing on the boat. |
| Google reveals this yacht was Seattle Yacht Club’s 2007 Opening Day Parade First Place winner of the Class R “Dressed Power” trophy. | It was a busy day on the water. | One of the Victoria Clippers, a very fast ferry to Victoria, B.C. | The boys, enjoying themselves. | Captain Troy keeps us out of trouble. | Flynn and Guinness, and just a tiny bit of Pete’s shirt. |
| Flynn hanging out at the bow, as we approach the Elliott Bay Marina. | Most of the cruise ships dock in the shipping district, but a few wind up downtown. | A chance to run around, at Elliott Bay Marina, before eating there at Maggie Bluffs. | Full of food, we head back home. | The sunny side. This is one huge boat. | We had a really good breeze heading back. |
| The Budweiser sailboat was still out on our way back. | Debra and the boys brace themselves on the uphill side. | Fast. For a sailboat, anyway. | Argosy is the largest day-cruise operator in the area. Here are two of their boats. | Heidi seems particularly content here. And with every reason to be. | Tugboats are another ubiquitous sight on Puget Sound. |
