After a couple of wild and windy days, the sun was out. Grabbing my camera, I took off for the Port Angeles waterfront to snap one of my favorite subjects — boats! I just made it in time to watch the Black Ball Ferry’s Coho as she left Port Angeles for Victoria, BC.
Early morning for me means these fishermen have been out there for hours.

The bonus treat was Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas. The 168,000 ton, 4200 passenger cruise ship is anchored at Port Angeles. According to the Coast Guard, she’ll be there until Sunday, Nov. 14.
The Ovation of the Seas dwarfs the Coast Guard cutter.

Yay! Very fun and interesting blog entry, with the Ovation as the grand finale!
Great photos! Especially like the cutter and cruise ship comparison.
