Guemes scene
There wasn’t enough wind to sail into town, so this sailboat motored down the Guemes Channel Tuesday afternoon. This photograph was taken near the intersection of 5th Street and “K” Avenue.

Many boaters opted for weekend trips on the water, taking full advantage of our late September “summer.” I photographed this crew from Tugboat Park as they returned to Skyline marina Saturday afternoon.
