Lisa and I bumped into some friends of ours in Olympia on Wednesday night. They happened to have their boat nearby and invited us aboard. We got a nice view of the Lady Washington as she sailed Budd Inlet near us.

Thank you, Brett and Sandi, for a fun evening!

The stern section of a large cargo ship with a black and rust-red hull, a white superstructure with railed decks, and a red-and-white sign reading “BEWARE OF PROPELLER” alongside orange life rings, under a clear blue sky.
A large black-hulled bulk cargo ship named “Global Forest” with a rust-red waterline sits moored at a dock, its deck cranes rising against a blue sky dotted with scattered clouds. The vessel is viewed low from the calm water of an inlet, with a stack of logs and forested shoreline visible on the dock to the left.
Sailboats, motor yachts, and older fishing vessels moored in a marina on Budd Inlet, with masts silhouetted against a partly cloudy blue sky and a dark forested shoreline behind them. The calm water in the foreground reflects the late-afternoon light.
