From Alki Point, Guy Smith has shared news of wildlife and other sightings. Tonight, he shares the photo above, and the story behind it:
This photo, taken at Alki Point looking toward Restoration Point, shows two of the boats racing in Seattle Yacht Club‘s Tri-Island series race this last Saturday. The near boat, Eye Candy, was skippered by Jim Marta, who relates that this series is one of the most important local series of the year. Saturday’s race, the second of the series, went from Shilshole Bay, around Vashon Island and back to Shilshole; 48 miles in all. The first race was the Protection Island 80 mile race. The third race will be the much shorter Blake Island Race. Jim, who taught at West Seattle High for twenty years (1962-82), thinks that his West Seattle friends might be interested to know that on Saturday his boat won first in class and also first overall for the corrected time in the entire fleet.
