We spent a quiet morning and then Cheryl noticed a post about the Lady Washington, the tall ship of Washington State, that she was in port and preparing to depart.
After some thought i suggested we go and see if she was still in port. So I grabbed my camera and we took Maggie with us so she could have another walk.
Just a note about the Lady Washington, she is a historic replica ship that appeared in Pirates of the Carribean portraying the HMS interceptor.
The public can pay to tour the ship as well as go an two hour cruises, she spends her summers in various Washington ports. 
When we arrived at our usual parking place in downtown Port Orchard, she was still tied up! As we walked between two blocks of shops we noticed there were some great murals on both sides.
There was also a lone seagull sitting on top of the totem pole.
We then walked down to one of the pontoons just across from the ship and took some photos. We also took some photos of the trees wearing their fall foliage, they were very pretty.
Maggie had to negotiate a ramp that had the non slip metal grate and she did so with difficulty, when we came to a strip of it, she jumped over it, lol!
As we started to walk along the waterside, it started ro rain, quite large spots, but it did not last long.
We were able to take more photos along the way and went down the wooden steps to the sandy beach.
Maggie was quite at ease although did not seem interested in testing the water out. Maybe in the summer when it is a bit warmer, lol! There were a few very light showers along the way. We also saw a lone juvenile seagull perched on a post, lol!
We returned to the car and went to Walmarts, where I popped in and bought my few last supplies, and then on to a neaarby Starbucks for a cup of coffee.
Wednesday
I chilled out today and watched some TV before we went out for tea with Jamie and Alan again. We met them at Shari's restaurant as Wednesday is free pie day, everyone can order a slice of their favourite pie for free!!
I had the small fish and chip meal, a cup of roast tomato bisque soup and the a slice of Montana cherry pie to go! i also took home the french fried I had not eaten as a treat for the four leggeds!
It was a cloudy day with some rain on and off as well as quite cool.
Thursday
Today was another cloudy day although a weak sun tried to burn through the clouds, there was some rain again.
I stripped my bed again and did my washing in between chilling out, Cheryl helped me make my bed up again after tea.
