Thanks J&C for the tip!

A couple boats went down to Bell Harbor last weekend.  Pretty nice marina, really nice showers, great location.  Fun way to go out to dinner for the night.

Sorry about the crap quality. A friend is borrowing my camera for her calendar shoot.

The Seattle Yacht Club was having some Halloween party.  Pretty elaborate costumes which, given SYC’s fees, isn’t surprising.

We then did the usual. Got hammered and made dinner. When Fisher got caught using the outdoor facilities he convinced the security guard to tell Jason he was being kicked out. Ended up staying for drinks.

We had a great sail back the next morning with 15-20 on the tail… lovely!

Fisher in his new found, possibly women’s sweater (from the laundry room… aka Free Board).

The sunsets have been amazing this week.

I made dinner for Nanette, Kelly, Kim and Christy last night over at Nanette’s. Kim made bread. Jason (aka every word in the English language) showed up after volley ball for a bit. Good time. Drank too much.

Met up with White Cloud 10/18/2008 while sailing off Shilshole.

I had a great time hanging out with Kim yesterday on the water taxi. Pretty cool job she has.

Docking in West Seattle (pretty tricky with the current)

Doing the safety announcement

Ta da! The engine room

The small locks were completely drained yesterday when I was biking back from the West Seattle Water Taxi. I talked to the guys a few days ago and they said the small locks should be open by the 24th.

Clear and cold weather combined with not much rain has left us with some great (at least for the NW) fall colors.

Kim, I and Gina brought Lavengro back through the locks last Saturday in beautiful weather. Hopefully you got to see Lavengro on the fuel docks last weekend.
