Got back late Sunday night from an incredible weekend Housewarming celebration at our friend Harry's new home on Bainbridge Island. Aside from the usual traffic nightmare stories about Seattle, a few really interesting things happened.
First, we got to reconnect with friends who increasingly seem scattered to the winds. Some we had not seen in a few years. Harry's new home is fairly huge, so accomodating the nearly dozen out of town guests did not put much strain on him. It was just so nice to see everyone again! We all arrived on Friday night, spent Saturday bumming around to some art galleries and the Saturday market, then indulged in the official party on Saturday evening. How brave of Harry to expose his Washington friends to the old crowd! I won't even try to document the food and the copious amounts of wine; suffice to say the shrimp were amazing! It was Harry Anderson hospitality at his finest. Thanks for a great time!
Almost as big a deal to me was the fact that we stopped for a couple of hours at the Seattle Boat Show before catching the ferry. And just like that, my Princess fell in love with another boat. So, we are now putting our SeaRay up for sale and seeing if we can work a deal on the other boat. At 30 feet, she should be just the perfect size for keeping on Puget Sound.
We stopped in Olympia on the way home and did some marina shopping. We found thre different places which would each be suitable for our needs, all within walking distance to the Farmers Market and restaurants, etc. Our current plan is to sell our boat, take delivery of a new boat next Spring and spend the foreseeable future weekending in Puget Sound and the San Juans.
Boat for Sale:
Please pass along to anyone you may know looking for a boat that our 2006 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer is available.
Photos are available and I am willing to meet anyone who would like to test drive while she is still in the water. Boat has been kept in fresh water since new, winters she has been kept in secure covered storage. The boat is in great shape with fewer than 100 hours on the Mercruiser 350 engine.
I'm posting ads on Craigslist as well as Boat Trader and the SeaRay Owners Club.
