Quick trip to Seattle to see the Lake Union Boats Afloat show.
First time we have driven over the border since 911 - not as bad as we feared - took about an hour to cross at the Peace Arch south of Vancouver (about half that coming the other way).
The boat show was interesting although the emphasis was on big (read expensive) boats, and they were mostly power boats. The few sailboats they did have included a few real offshore type boats though, so we were able to get some good ideas from them. Mostly out of our price range.
Check out our new yacht (We can just about afford to fill the gas tank once).And here is a picture of our new apartment in the sky.
Seattle was fun. Saw a lot of downtown, went out to a movie, rode the monorail, and eat a great seafood supper at Ivars in the harbour.
Otherwise the trip was quite uneventful until we were pulling into Nanaimo on the ferry at Duke Point. We were treated to a sighting of a pod of killer whales just cruising by - a nice welcome back.
