There be boats, big boats, in the waters off Whidbey Island. (John Fisken photos)
It’s not the size of the boat, but the motion in the ocean (that it makes).
The boats, and the onlookers, crowd for position.
Let the guns rip.
The waters off Whidbey were hoppin’ Tuesday afternoon.
A rare parade of tall boats sailed through Admiralty Inlet on their way to the Festival of Sail in Tacoma.
The boats, which regularly plied the waters in these parts in the 19th century, brought out gawkers galore.
One of those onlookers was local paparazzi John Fisken, who brought his camera to the show and was kind enough to pass on the pics seen above.
