Shilsholed

It was dead calm and, with the exception of Erin and John, it was the usual crowd (K**, Fisher, Gina, I, Jane Les) but it was fun none-the-less. Kim brought her Zissou hat (Life Aquatic). Erin’s a relatively new live-aboard at Shilshole on K-dock. John (of Washington Live-Aboards Association) paddled over as well (and clued us into the Wed BBQ on L-dock).

We ended up at Anthony’s Homeport (next to Rays) for the free buffet they have on Wed nights.

All pictures up here.

Gina as Zissou (she hasn’t even seen the movie though – gotta work on Gina’s movie knowledge… I mean – hasn’t seen Life Aquatic!?!?!)

Fisher as Zissou… I think he’s closer to the spirit of Zissou then he knows or admits.

K** the contemplative/thinker Zissou

John demonstrating that yachties don’t just drink Single Malt

Thanks to Gina for the design!

Fun evening hanging out with some friends on K dock. Les and Jane (K dock), K**, Fisher (Q dock) and Gina (no dock, but can be found on K dock most days). Beer, wine, cheese, ice cream, pretty nice sunset, fun in the sailing dinghy… I’m still not sure why everyone isn’t living on boats.

K** and the poodle (yes, there was a poodle on my boat… never thought I’d say that).

Gina and Les

Fisher and K**

From back of head going clockwise – Les, Jane (sail maker), Ben (pretends to be code monkey), Fisher (still not sure what he does), and K**

V-Dock through a party tonight, complete with 3 live bands, free BBQ and BYOB (no-one is dumb enough to offer sailors free booze).  Pretty good turn out.  I’m terrible at meeting people but met a few of them.

A B-17 was flying over… one guy said you can get $300 rides on it while it’s in town (a few weeks)

A few people showed up in dinghies. I kayaked over.

After I left I kayaked along Golden Gardens (a park right next to Shilshole)… lot’s of parties going on there.
