What a fantastic four day weekend! Glorious weather for the first time in years. We left on Thursday and cruised out to Blake Island where we caught an empty Bouy at the south end of the island. Everything else was full by the time we got there, it looks like everyone else had the same idea with a perfect weather forcast. We spent the night, Glen and Liz joined us late in the evening.
On Friday we motored on down to Dock Street in Tacoma where we met the club for the weekend. We squeezed in over 30 boats and had a great time. Good food and good weather helped. We took the Dinghy's up the Puyallup river and almost made it to Sumner before Jim probed the bottom with his prop. Jeff and Fran came by on Sunday with lunch for all. We enjoyued the visit and they showed us their Mt McKInley slides. The had only been back a week from the ill fated trip, getting blown off the mountain at 17,000 feet but everyone came home with all their fingers toes and noses.
Returned home on Monday, dodging hundreds of other boats all headed for home port. Cannot remember when we had a full memorial day without wind or rain.
