Rode the bus to Aberdeen. Bus fare here is only 25 cents. That's the regular fare, not the senior discount fare. And it's 25 miles to Aberdeen, a penny a mile. Very scenic ride, too.
Saw a lot of signs pointing to "Tall Ships", so we followed them. Turned out the one and only tall ship had gone to Tacoma for a few days. We went in the shop where a wooden longboat is being built. The craftsmen are off today, but it was interesting just looking around.
Walked over to a museum, but it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Finally found an ATM that would accept Roy's card, so he got some money.
Rode another bus to Hoquiam. Ate a delicious lunch at Duffy's. Mine was supposed to be "for the small appetite", but it seemed awfully big to me.
Walked along the riverside, admiring the murals painted on the walls. Went to another museum, but it was also closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Followed signs to "Hoquiam's Castle". It turned out to be an old 20-room house, high on a hill. It had been built in 1897 by a lumber baron. It's open to the public seven days a week until 5 p.m. When we got there, it had just closed.
Took the bus back to Aberdeen. Got there a little before six. Then I discovered there wouldn't be a bus to Westport until 8:30! Strolled around, watched part of a softball game, munched some goodies. Finally got back to the boat a little after nine.
