The Pacific Northwest FINALLY had sunshine and temps in the 70's over the weekend - so we spent Saturday afternoon canoeing (our Flickr set) around Herron Island, a privately owned island that is referred to as 'the jewel of the South Sound'.
The water was very calm so we enjoyed looking at all the underwater aquatic life - flowing seaweeds, starfish, jellyfish, schools of fish. George photographed a lot of it, but since it was mid-day, with brilliant sunshine, very few of them appear clear.
We had a picnic under some bluffs overlooking the water. I packed broadbean soup, PBJ's, and a coleslaw, Turkish coffee and decaf green tea - I packed for cool weather, not sure if wind would make the outing chilly out on the water. 
But, it was gorgeous out, and while George walked around the ferry-landing, I enjoyed a cup of tea and watched kids and dogs playing in the water. 
Several times a day a little ferry visits Herron Island, and about eight cars are unloaded.
