What changeable weather! Yesterday, it was clear and sunny with a 15-knot northwest wind. This morning, it was cloudy and rainy with a southeast gale, 30 to 40 knots. This afternoon, it was clear and sunny with a northwest gale. Weird. We were very glad we were tied securely to a dock, even if the dock does jump around. The harbor was full of waves and whitecaps. If this wind keeps up, we might never get away from here.
In the morning, Roy worked on the generator and almost got it running. I walked over to Safeway and bought a few groceries. Then I packed a picnic lunch and we caught the free bus to Lake Crescent. Roy would have rather finished the work on the generator, but he very sweetly acceded to my wishes.
We walked on a very nice trail to Marymere Falls. The forest and the falls were really beautiful. We ate our lunch next to the falls and then walked back to the lodge. Strolled along the lovely lake until it was time to catch the bus back to Port Angeles.
There's a marine lab on the city pier near where we're docked. They held an Open House this afternoon, so we went to that. Saw a lot of starfish, crabs, anemones, etc.
The local Indian tribe held a salmon-bake fundraiser right outside the lab, so we bought supper there and ate it on the boat. The corn on the cob was good, but the salmon was overcooked.
