I believe these ships are heading to the Tall Ships Tacoma Festival which begins tomorrow, July 3, 2008 and sails through July 7, 2008.

Is she the Lady Washington?

You can even see the top of the light house.   This amazing photo was taken by my husband.

What Dad wouldn’t enjoy a Puget Sound dinner cruise on the Royal Argosy?

A field trip to the shore in front of Emma Schmitz Memorial Viewpoint with low tides of -4.3 is producing quite a bit of excitment with the tots.

Our weather is a bit nicer than yesterday (can you believe THIS is June?)…tomorrow will bring another lunch-time low tide of -4.2 at 12:36.

Lots of folks weathered our weather today to check out some of the lowest tides of the year.   This photo was taken about 10 minutes past "low tide" at a -3.9.   Tomorrow will bring us even lower tides (and maybe nicer weather w/a partly sunny afternoon) at a -4.3 at 11:48 a.m.

Hat Tip to Lisa Wallace-Baker for giving me the scoop about the photo of the ferry from earlier this week slowly cruising north.  Apparently that’s the Christine Anderson Ferry which had issues over Memorial weekend at Anderson Island.   According to Pierce County, the ferry is out for repairs.   

Today is the first of many low tides this week:

• -3.1 @ 10:15 on Monday, June 2nd
• -3.9 @ 11:01 on Tuesday, June 3rd
• -4.3 @ 11:48 on Wednesday, June 4th
• -4.2 @ 12:36 on Thursday, June 5th
• -3.6 @ 1:25 on Friday, June 6th

On a side note, we spied this small ferry from Pierce County this morning.
