01/26 - 01/28 - Seattle Boat Show

Something to think about:

I was talking to Catman tonight (Private Message), and mentioned that some of my best friends are right here on this website.

In fact, I'm disappointed when some can't come to the SBS/SBC.

And two days doesn't ever seem to be long enough to visit with all the folks I want to talk to in person, so.....

Is there any interest in adding a day to the January event to have an excuse to spend some time together?

I don't know if we'd need to have another "formal" event on the extra day or so, but just some more time.

What I'm thinking of doing this next year is going to Seattle a day or two early, and getting the Boat Show out of the way first, say on Thursday, so that I can visit with folks on Friday and Saturday.

Joe.

Good idea, Dan.

I've been invited out fishing the last two years by folks (Anita Marie's Fred, and starcraftom ) up there in Seattle, but, unfortunately, the weather has had the final say and cut us off.

I'll be especially looking forward to visiting with the Green Phantom this year!

the last two years I have stayed at the motel starting on Wed or Thur. and it is great to go to the show early. it is less crowded on the first day and it gives me time to visit with all in the following days. when you sign up with Linda she will be able to get the same price for motel rooms as the weekend . and remember that all weekdays except friday there is a full dinner meal and also breakfast complimentry with the rooms. Lats year we did the show in thirds. one third of the show and then off to Pyrimid brewery accrosss the street for some libations, then back for the next third of the show and then back to the brewery for some more swill, then back for the remaing part of the show, and back to the brewery for dinner.( and more barley pop.It makes the whole show fun and relaxing....lol.....

count us in roger. We had a great time last year and cant wait to go back. the Hawthorne was a wanderful hotel and we may take the time off to stay three days. I will also see about mooring the Susan E in elliott bay so I can take people fishing if the weather permits.

Deleted on edit. Couldn't get to it before someone looked at it! Don't know how to do several pictures without going back and forth!

Dog on Dan, you've turned into a regular Green Monster and I don't mean the left field at Fenway. I miss the old Dog On, can't you morph back from this?

At any rate, me and Andy the wonder Dog will drink a toast to you, Heck, we'll drink a toast to most anything!

Keep 'em coming...

In ALL seriousness though Dan, I really would be happy to take you out fishing if you make it to Seattle. The only thing that's open in the salt then is winter blackmouth (resident chinook) and a good day one might scatch out a fish or two. Cutt throat or rainbow trout on Lake washington would also be a possibility with it being likely that only a few fish at best would be caught. I suppose I could be a better salesman for our fabulous Seattle winter fishery - but I don't charge a guide fee so I'll have to tell the truth. We'll tow the boat with my gas guzzling 1984 F-250 pickup, but if you want, I can provide a sheet for you to hide under on the way to the launch or my wife can drive you in her fuel efficient, Jetta TDI.

Dan - a boatride it is. We could hit Lake Washington for some brief fishing for Cutts and then run over to Kirkland for lunch and/or drinks. Lots of good restaurants and sometimes I catch fish. Weather in the lake is usually OK and I can launch about 3 miles from my house. The launch is usually empty in winter.

Those of you who went to the brewery to see the Taproom under construction last January will be amazed if you come back out, we opened in April and it has been great!
