Gingerbread House Competition

There were so many amazing entries in this year's Port of Bellingham Gingerbread House Competition! There were some very clever entries, but I thought this one was just incredible. It's called "Chuckanut Dreamin'" by Jim Hildenbrand. I recommend clicking on the picture to enlarge it so you can check out the detail.

Alaska Ferry

Can you picture yourself
Stepping on a boat
And riding it to the edge of the world
Where winter darkness unfurls?
You'd disembark in starlight
Day cloaked in December shadows
And take your breakfast with the moon
Months away from the sun's spring bloom.

Zodiac

According to the Northwest Schooner Society, the 136 foot Schooner Zodiac is the largest working schooner on the west coast. It is currently in use as a charter ship operated by Schooner Zodiac sailing out of Fairhaven.
