We are so lucky to have a place to live in Downtown Seattle.

Today the 2014 Maritime Festival was held 3 blocks away from our apartment, Kim packed a lunch bag and we enjoyed our selves with the activities held on the Puget Sound at Pier 63.

Several Tugboats show off their maneuverability by travelling in reverse, sideways and going around in circles.

We also saw an "Abandon Ship" demonstration where crew members got into their orange survival suits, jumped off the ship and got into an inflatable raft. After they use a couple of flares to ask for help a ship came to their rescue.

Finally, a crew member of an helicopter jumped into the water to later be rescued back into the same air ship.

Check out the photos and video of this event.

We love this town.
