During the night of Nov. 10, between 8 and 10 p.m., Braith Miller’s 1974, 45-foot ketch Touchstone, crashed onto the shore near Bayview Restaurant in downtown Port Townsend. Winds in Port Townsend had hit gale force highs at 47 mph. Miller was wrung out as he watched recovery of his boat by volunteers from Salish Rescue. “I’ve been through so much I’ve lost track of time. The mind goes. I’ve been through borderline hypothermia,” Miller said. “I’m doing the best I can.” The vessel was recovered after the tide came in the morning of Nov. 11. Leader photo by Lloyd Mullen
