This photo really says it all

Fisher is a looser

Boeing 737’s going by

Boeing delivers partially completely 737s from their Everette plant to Renton for final assembly. Always pretty cool to see these going by. Didn’t have time to grab my real camera - so, it’s this lame iPhone shot.

Bell Harbor

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.

All photos up here.
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!

Party at Nanettes

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.
