Chuck, I'd appreciate it you'd do me a favor. Could you navigate over to
alt.binaries.pictures.sports.ocean for me? A few of us have been posting digital photos over there to share with the folks here. I posted a shot on 12/30/05 with the subject Wooden Boats at Pier 66 in Seattle, or something very close to that. The shot was taken on June 18, 2005. We were boarding a cruise ship for our trip up the Inside Passage. Shortly after boarding I went out to the fantail of the ship and noticed below on the docks, the most wonderful collection of beautifully restored wooden cruising boots, all moored together at Pier 66. Once I saw them, I really wanted to disembark and go walk the docks among the wooden boats, but with long boarding lines, security issues, etc. I thought better of it, and just shot the boats from the fantail of the ship. Can you shed any insight as to what I saw? Was it a temporary showing event or a small marina that is exclusive to restored wooden cruisers? From what I could tell from my vantage point, the quality of the boats was simply amazing. Any knowledge you could fill in would be appreciated. I wondered what I saw for the rest of the trip and since. By the way, I have a very nice skyline shot of Seattle taken from Puget Sound on a strikingly clear day during our departure. Postcard quality, I've been told. I'd be happy to email it to you or post it to the other group if you have an interest. |

Postcard quality, I've been told. I'd be happy to email it to you or post it to the other group if you have an interest. There's a classic yacht show each year at Pier 66. It begins with the fleet parading in from Elliott Bay, and that's quite a sight in and of itself. Our local classic yacht association is pretty dedicated. For instance, the boats are members of the association- not the boat owners. The boat owners are considered "caretakers" or stewards by the association. To belong to the association, a boat has to be of a certain age. As I remember, I think it's 40 years but I could be mistaken. I do know that owners of some of the later wooden production boats have complained their boats are too "new" to be accepted. Admission to the show is free, and while boarding privileges are not automatically extended to everybody and various "stewards" are free to decide whether the public will be allowed to tour their boats, most of the boats are freely available for public inspection. Other exceptional wooden boat festivals in the region include an annual event in LaConner, one in Victoria, BC, and an event every September that *should* be bringing in astonished tourists and wood boat lovers from across the country; the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend. Port Townsend might be my favorite place in Washington. It's where I'd live if I didn't want to work for a living. There was a big building boom in the 1890's, and then fortunes were reversed when the railroad never arrived as expected. Most of Water Street, the main downtown thoroughfare, could pass for the 1890's if you moved all the cars to another block. There is a super-active artist community, hundreds of old hippies everywhere, some excellent restaurants, and fabulous scenery. Each September they close the Point Hudson Marina and bring in one of the largest groups of wooden power and sailboats to assemble anywhere. Most open for inspection. Any wooden boat fans considering a visit to Washington State and wondering what time of year would be best should come to Port Townsend in September....(one of our few relatively dry months, with shirt-sleeve weather almost every day). |

Thanks for your informative reply, Chuck. The wooden yachts at Pier 66
were certainly a beautiful sight to behold, even from the distance I was viewing them. I would have loved to been dockside and invited aboard any one of them for a tour. |

Here's hoping your Skins play well enough to finish a close second tomorrow. :-) |

I'm not the world biggest football fan, but even I know we'll have to make it *to* the Superbowl to get beat there and there's still one more game to win. What Seattle demonstrated today might be that the team is a bit deeper than most people, myself included, suspected. That 4th quarter was certainly exciting. Hand it to the Redskins- they were still trying to find a way to win when they were down by 10 points with only a couple of minutes left. I'm sorry that our weather was so uncharacteristically pleasant for the nationally televised game against the 'Skins. It's usually much, much darker, drearier, and wetter around here- even in July. :-) |

Sounds like clever planning. Not only does he get points for going taking his lady to a musical- she knows darn well he "gave up" the chance to watch the playoff game in order to accommodate her. He winds up with a woman who will need to find some nice way to express her gratitude, plus he still got home in time to watch the final minutes. I think they call that "strategy" in the Army. Hell why not tell her you don't enjoy musicals and offer to take her out for a romantic dinner instead.........*after* the game is over or another day. Same results plus you get to watch the game AND avoid having to sit through a gay musical. ;-) |
