We had a quiet morning today, walking around Pike's Market. The only thing we bought was some blackberry apple cider. But we did enjoy seeing the fish-tossing; in the picture the fish has just left his hands. Then the rain started when we were about done walking around so we picked out a place for lunch and headed back to the hotel.
Our afternoon adventure was a boat ride from Union Lake through the locks to Puget Sound. We saw some interesting things, including the floating house that was used when filming Sleepless in Seattle. As you can see, the weather left a bit to be desired (high of 61 today), but the rain stayed light and did not interfere with seeing the sights.
It was neat passing thought the lock, going from fresh water to salt and dropping about 17 feet, as you can see in the picture on the right.
We also saw several Deadliest Catch boats (a reality show about crab-fishing in the Bering Sea) but it was hard to get good pictures, except for the Botany Bay that the show uses to film the other boats.
The trip ended up at Pier 54, right next to Ivars so we went there for dinner. Mary enjoy a clams, while I had fish & chips. We walked back go the hotel in the rain, but fortunately they had loaned us an umbrella.
Tomorrow we are planning to take a ferry to Bremerton, but might not if the weather does not cooperate.

Have a great cruise - tell Mary those clams look delicious!
I like hearing about the fish tossing. I hope to see that someday. Nice adventure on the boat today. It's fun to pick out places to eat in a tourist area. You found a couple of nice ones.
