We headed out around 11:00 AM and quickly discovered we weren't the only people who thought it'd be a good day for a sail. The locks were packed.
Once we were underway, my parents, John and Paula, made themselves comfy on the bow to watch the marine life. The salmon were running, so you could see them jumping out of the water on all sides of the boat.
There wasn't much wind on the Sound, but there was still a fair bit of excitement. This tall ship is actually a member of the Spanish Navy, which was in town for some reason. A little later on, it put up all its sails and was quite a sight.
Dad took to sailing right away and was plenty happy to man the tiller while the rest of us enjoyed the ride. I brought out my recently-acquired ukelele so Laura could strum for us a bit.
Coming back in, we didn't have much of a wait for the locks -- just enough time for me to take down the jib lines and snap a couple more pictures.
