Big windows at the newly remodeled downtown ferry terminal

. . . allowed great views while we were snug and warm inside. It was cold, wet, and grey outside, but I never get tired of being near the water. And we had all the time we wanted inside.

Plus, I met really kind people. Despite the weather, all the sketchers were really upbeat (as usual). The WSF staff gave us a warm reception, and even joined us at the throwdown.
