Some folks cruise in a motor cruiser. This looked like a wedding party; probably a pleasant way to be married.
Others cruise by sail; these sailors seem more relaxed when passing through the Ballard Locks. I suspect that relying on the wind develops patience.
Yet another yatchie, cruising along on a calm day. This view is from near Suquamish township, looking eastward. The high rise buildings in Seattle are just visible on the far right of the picture. The Cascade Range is barely visible on the far horizon.
