Gazing west across the Salish Sea to the Olympics from aboard the MV Issaquah. My car, a Ford Taurus Wagon from the turn of the new century, sits over on picture right with a chock block wedged against the tires. It’s 09:36 on a cold, clear December morning. Love being out here amidst open water, mountains, sky, the early morning sun, and a Waning Gibbous Moon still high in the sky. The Moon was full just three days earlier.
