This morning there was a semi-organized breakfast event out at the end of the dock that we chose not to attend. Instead, we had our own gourmet breakfast on board the Potentate. Erin brought out the waffle iron and we all enjoyed waffles with bananas and blueberries.
The CYA event and our complimentary moorage were scheduled to run through 2 o’clock in the afternoon, giving folks to head on back home or to their next port. Rather than head for the locks on Sunday, we had planned to head on down to Port Orchard or Bremerton Sunday afternoon to spend a night there, but in a fit of laziness we decided that we’d
just hang around Poulsbo for the extra day. The weather remained delightful, although it was a bit blustery – another good reason to stay at the dock.
Barb, Erin and I went out for a walk in the afternoon and headed off onto the boardwalk that follows the shoreline north of town. The boardwalk runs a couple hundred yards or so, then ends at a shore side park where the trail continued on towards a playfield. At the boardwalk end of the park is an old church building that has been converted into several upscale condos overlooking the harbor. Years ago Erin and I explored t
hrough this building when it was vacant and before the remodeling started. Along the trail walking north were turnouts at the water’s edge where we could look through the trees out at the bay. Liberty Bay is shallow at the head so there were no docks or anchored boats at this point. The overlooks were 10 or 15 feet up a steep embankment from the beach. Some folks with a dog were walking below, and the dog ran up and down the embankment, although it wasn’t that suitable for casual human travel.
When we returned to the boat, we stopped at the marina office and paid our Sunday night moorage, courtesy of Trav. We had taken some chicken out of the freezer for yet another gourmet dinner, but none of us were very hungry after snacking on lefsa and other treats. We put the chicken away and had some leftovers, or as Trav says, “planned overs” a little later in the evening.
Tonight’s entertainment was the movie Ghost Town, about a dentist who, after a near death experience, could see and converse with ghosts – and they all wanted him to take care of their unfinished business.
