Father’s Day Afloat

Father’s Day was stellar here, weatherwise, and my son consented to an afternoon’s paddle on Lake Union and up the ship canal to the Ballard (well, Hiram Chittenden) locks. Much more enjoyable than a tie or a pair of socks.

I’m thinking this vessel’s last paint job coincided with the release of the Rubber Soul album.  Caveat Emptor!


We returned home to a dinner of barbequed king salmon to complete our nautical interlude.
