WATERFRONT WANDERINGS

The child, the brother, and I visited Fritz European Fry House for ale and Belgian fries. Afterward, we wandered around Bremerton's new Harborside Fountain Park.

I went fishing at Tacoma waterfront's Les David Pier and all I caught was a sea anemone! The anemone ate the bait and ingested the hook. I removed the hook and set the anemone free. The child has been fascinated with fishing recently so we bought a couple of simple drop lines and the wife, the child, and I took advantage of Washington's free fishing weekend.

Clockwise from upper left: (2) the right half of the crossbar of the "t" of Les Davis Pier, (3) a buoy; (4) looking down the pier from shore; (5) barnacles and sea fauna on a beach rock.
