sender reassures receiver with a squeeze of their hand. from zephyr. @svartr
heart heavy, aching, THROBBING. the sound of familiar rain starting to fall against the ground. docktown was quiet -- too quiet now that the venatori had made a house a home here. zephyr must have sensed the quiet tumult building inside of her because her focus was ripped away from the inner turmoil the moment she felt a touch against her skin. the urge to flinch, to rip herself away from a comfort that she didn't feel like she DESERVED. eyes did not lift, but her shoulders fell.
"it's starting to feel like i've fallen in this WELL and every time i think i've found the bottom, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper. like i'm scratching and clawing my way up the sides but instead... i just keep falling further down." she's said too much, divulged more than she wanted. a sigh.
"we should get back to work. dockton won't fix itself."
#@svartr#int. zephyr & neve || svartr#omg sorry i YAPPED so much i was really feeling noir detective in this chili's and couldnt shut up

A repost from a photo I took years ago... I love the moody mystery in this photo. It was a goofy night,almost sundown & the light from the marina blended with the red sun & I caught it at the right time. #thechroniclesoffarnia #thingssoamazeme #magic #wonder #look #fog #sundown #moody #mysterious #tree #dockton https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RLnS0D_pt/?igshid=2qojw62r5bd5

Redondo Launch into the Puget Sound!!
After the successful Angle Lake outing it was another rare nice day in Wester WA, so after picking my 4 yo up from pr-school we took him down to Redondo (he loves the beach). I watched a guy launch, without the floating dock, and his son back the boat out of the launch and beached it just to the south. I saw this and thought, hey i can do this on a calm day.
The next day I woke up and looked out the son’s window (which has a great view of Poverty Bay). The Sound looked like glass!! I told the wife we were going to bot from Redondo to Dockton and let the kids play at the little park. We got all packed up and drove down to Redondo.
I prepped the boat in the parking area the backed into the Sound. I got on the boat and had the wife pull the boat and trailer into a parking spot (I had her go pay for a parking ticket while I prepped the boat). That was a little nerve racking as she had never towed anything before, but she did great. I backed the boat out of the launch and forward onto the beach. My wife came over and got on board. Then I used the new Dragonfly 7 Pro and navigated across the sound and into Quartermaster to Dockton. It was such a great and humbling feeling floating through the Puger, I felt so small in the grand scheme of things.
We pulled into Dockton and there was a Sailboat in one of the slot and a nice 32″ Liveaboard was parked on the front of the dock. I wasn’t comfortable pulling into a slip so I docked on the front side. It was on the left side of the boat and i came in a little “hot,”bounced of the dock with the bumpers but was able to recover and get set on the second time. We got off and let the kids play at the park for about 45 mins and had a little picnic. Man, it was so quiet and relaxing.
We took off from Dockton with the 4 yo steering the way (with assistance obviously :) ), As we came out of Quartermaster Harbor and started heading Northeast back toward Redondo I noticed something moving about 100 yds off the bow. I slowed down and turned starboard. I continued to watch the same area and told the wife about it, then we both saw two different dorsal fins come out of the water and went back under. Initially i thought it was some baby Orcas, after some research I know believe they were two Harbor Porpoises. With the help of the Dragonfly 7 Pro we made it back to Redondo.
I beached the boat and went and got the Tahoe and trailer while my wife stood on the beach holding the boat with a bow line. I got back in the boat while she got into the Tahoe and I got the boat onto the trailer with no problem, attached the bow/winch line and she pulled us out of the water. I got out of the boat and pulled us into the parking lot, secured the boat and home we went.
Once at home I flushed the motor and hosed it off. I was really surprised with the amount of salt stuck to the boat and the amount of seaweed and other plant life stuck to the trailer. I was in a hurry to get ready and leave for work (I work nights) but spent about 50 mins spraying all the plant life off the boat.
I’m so ready to head to Blake Island and do some camping!
This is a picture of Docton Harbor from the Dockton Park. What a beautiful and peaceful place to get away with the family for a few hours.

Vashon Island
7 September 2022
I should make a checklist of which nearby islands I’ve visited by bike (and which I haven’t). Today it was 47 miles (76 kms) on Vashon, southwest of Seattle. Like most of the local landscape, the ‘plateau’ that defines much of the island is around 400’, but that means any detour to the beach (or up from the ferry) entails a big hill.
I parked just up the hill from the Fauntleroy Terminal and caught the 8:30 boat to Vashon. I stopped briefly at Point Heyer (KVI Beach), Point Robinson (on Maury Island), Dockton Park and Jensen Point (both on Quartermaster Harbor), before stopping at the grocery store and the coffee stand in Burton for lunch.
I continued to Tahlequah at the south end of the Island before turning around. From the Tahlequah ferry terminal I could look across at Point Defiance in Tacoma, where I was riding less than a week ago. My route north on the island was on Wax Orchard Road and the Westside Highway (not really a highway). The pavement and the shoulders aren’t as nice as on the main road up and down the island, but there were also no cars (or very, very few). There’s no avoiding a steep climb near the end of the ride and Cedarhurst is probably the standard approach. I opted for the Burma Road, which is closed to through traffic, but not bikes, due to an unfortunate geologic event. But the real challenge of that route is a couple of very steep pitches (15-20%?) that left me walking. Perhaps if they’d come earlier in the ride I might have ridden up, but not after 45 miles.
It’s then a fast downhill to the ferry terminal. I arrived at 2:00, long after the 1:40 boat sailed. And the next one wasn’t until 3:20. They really need a coffee shop and an ice cream fountain at the Vashon Terminal! But regardless of my bad timing, the day was great. The weather was perfect - sunny with occasional clouds. And maybe low 60s when I started and a little over 70 by the end.

“Fairy Scarf” 🌿🧚♂️ Inspired by a walk in Dockton Forest last summer. In the deep part of the forest are ferns that grow as high as your ears in every size and shape. The sound they make when the wind blows through resembles the chattering sound of wings as thousands of fairies flitting past you, so fast that they can’t be seen by humans. I’ve created a special world in a world that’s been cyanotype printed on this scarf. Gifted to my niece on her 37th birthday. (Printed 07/2019) Tell your own story~ Cyanotype Silk Scarves available on our website: WWW.CYANOTYPESTORE.COM (at Dockton Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QHBWsAYOE/?igshid=zdz90aqclsij
