Life is an open road, it's the best story never told, it's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea.

Leonard Nimoy ( March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015)
I thought that this was the best Leonard Nimoy post of the day. Leave it to George Takei to say it best. The quote is from The Wrath of Khan. #LLAP

Silverwater Cafe
Great place to eat in Port Townsend, and very popular! Right next door to the Rose Theater.

Blue Moose Cafe
The Blue Moose Cafe is a very small, great little hole in the wall kind of place and always has excellent reviews. Get there early if you want a seat as space is limited! Across the street from Safeway in Port Townsend Boat Haven.
"The Western Flyer" John Steinbeck
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. -- Famous authors can make their boats famous too: Hemingway, Darwin, Cousteau, even Humphrey Bogart. Famous boats often fall into disrepair before a resurrection.
Such is the case in Port Townsend, where they are getting started on a $2 million restoration of "The Western Flyer" on which John Steinbeck wrote "The Log of the Sea of Cortez."
"There she is. You can see she's a little caved in there," said Peter Quinn, Steinbeck fan and owner of Port Townsend's Imprint Bookstore.
There she is, indeed, sitting in the Port of Port Townsend's public boat yard hoisted onto dry land struts. Weathered, aged and nearly a lost hope. She has certainly lost her dignity, covered in mud and barnacles. But, after a year or so underwater in the La Connor Channel, it was hauled to Port Townsend largely because the port has an extremely large crane.
So, the story of "The Western Flyer" is not over. In fact, it faces a magnificent new chapter.
