Just Pulled In: Coal Harbor Marina - Part II

The first picture is very amazing

Is this an effekt by the camera or was this a real view?

Did we get it?...we were in it!
It was a wonderful clear day so we decided to go out to Thormanby Island in the evening. It was calm but by the time we got over (10 min.) it was blowing pretty good. We tucked in a somewhat protected bay and anchored. We went ashore and watched it kick up to probably 30 knots, whitecaps, 3-4' waves, thunder & lightning...really wild. Not knowing if it was going to continue or end, we piled in our boats (20 & 26') and made for home. The waves were coming over our bow and spray blowing right over us. We arrived at our dock where is was a 10 knot wind and relative calm!
The sea can be an unpredictable thing!

Awesome storm!

Attached was taken out MY front window!

Wow Brian, amazing shot, you have a fast trigger finger! Did it blow any transformers?
My daughter took these the same night.

Is that Pacific Yellowfin again in the 2nd photo?

It is, see website pacificyellowfin.com if you are that interested.

I've looked at the site previously, thanks. I was merely curious if it was the same boat, or another classic with a similar look.

Peace Boat

I had never heard of the "Peace Boat". According to the web site...

Peace Boat is a Japan-based international non-governmental and non-profit organization that works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment.

Peace Boat seeks to create awareness and action based on effecting positive social and political change in the world. We pursue this through the organization of global educational programmes, responsible travel, cooperative projects and advocacy activities. These activities are carried out on a partnership basis with other civil society organizations and communities in Japan, Northeast Asia, and around the world.

Peace Boat carries out its main activities through a chartered passenger ship that travels the world on peace voyages. The ship creates a neutral, mobile space and enables people to engage across borders in dialogue and mutual cooperation at sea, and in the ports that we visit. Activities based on Japan and Northeast Asia are carried out from our eight Peace Centers in Japan.​

That unknown trawler looks familiar.
Looks like something a builder from the valley offering...Abbotsford maybe? I'll dig around. Sharp little boat.
