Water Musing

 OK, which one of you let August in here?

I got out in my kayak for about 13 miles on Saturday, taking a ferry boat ride across the Sound to Bremerton and launching from Keyport, near Poulsbo with a group from the Tacoma area. We paddled through Agate Pass (between Bainbridge Island and the Kitsap Peninsula) to a beach near Indianola, where there was a sand sculpture competition. There were some terrific entries, and I ran around in my GoreTex space suit snapping photos.

It was also SeaFair weekend in Seattle, which features unlimited Hydroplane racing and appearances by the Navy’s Blue Angels. Here’s an interesting perspective on the Blue Angel show from the beach across Puget Sound:

Here’s a complete slide show, featuring lots more cool sand sculptures.
