Yup we do By air, I live about 55 miles from Seattle; On the map its a shade over an inch. I left the boat show at 1800, left the hotel at 1900, missed tho 2000 ferry by 30 seconds --> Yeah really I think the guy in the car in front of me smarted off to the ticket agent so he held him up just long enough to miss the boat, So, I had to wait until the 2010 ferry. One stop for gas and I got home at 2245, for about 3 hours, less the ferry wait of an hour and the 30 minute ferry ride. Comes out to about 1.5 hours drive, and 30 min ferry ride, so a minimum of 2 hours and that could be stretched another hour if the Hood Canal bridge is open for ship traffic. On a trip to Seattle for an appointment, I allow at least a 4 hour lead time, just in case.
Really enjoyed the weekend. Missed some folks at the pot luck, (Sorry Andy), and Tim and crew - sympathies, and Ruth and Joe. Hope all is OK there.
I did have some really interesting visits with the "WayPoint Marine" folks. I will address that in a different thread. Saw some cool stuff, like the RidigX LED lights on the bow of the SeaSports, and I noticed head lights of some sort on several other boats as well. Oh, the 22 Cruiser on display. How do I say this, aaahhhh mmmmm REALLY FINE. Good job guys. Now all you gotta do is tell somebody you are building nice boats again.
You all have a good night, stay safe and dream big.

I had a GREAT time.... Roger (C-halk) and I flew up, we both enjoyed seeing everyone and the dinner was just super.... I ate a ton of shrimp...could not understand why no one was eating them....later I thought...dah ! all you folks fish for shrimp so it is not such a neat thing to you'all.... I loved it..
I did not buy much at the show...a book was about all...did get to see some of that teak deck material that looks so nice... and one of the best things about the event was the hotel...I loved the shuttle and the service was super...
Susan you really did a neat job..well done.. sure had a great time and it was well worth coming all that way....

I think I looked at everything...even the boats in the water display...and for what I want...I still think the C-dory is the best boat...not so thrilled with the Yamaha motors though...might have done that different...
Something about all the maintenance and fuel costs...not to mention the original outlay and insurance kinda cured me of the new boat desire...
Old boat...fine wine (or any wine)... good company .....priceless

I think C-Dory kinda pooped out with their display... the boat was not as detailed as ones I have seen in the past...it was in a horrible spot, kinda overshowded by larger boats...and tucked into a tiny spot..
The cabin was not decorated as it should have been ... no literature ...and a girl showing the boat that had no idea of what it was... it was a nice boat...a blue high top...no stove... had gauges for a twin but only had a single Honda on it... I noticed that they had put one battery in each lazzeret .... kinda killed lots of space....the Barber seat was loose and flopped around...leatherette interior... kinda gave the boat a plain jane look...too bare..
Like the company man said...they now have 6 lines of boats and have to look hard at the profit margins... not to thrilled to hear that.. I do think the boat was fine, but just not presented as we would have like to see it featured...
I would like to see them install the batteries (sealed batteries) at the bulkhead under the sleeping platforms and have a access cover over them...sure would help with the rear weight and the balance..plus give more storage room in the back...

I'm betting that everyone else who stayed there will be getting a survey from Silver Cloud. If we want to go back next year, and a good deal we need to let them know we would consider it with a good offer. That might make Susan's job easier and add a bit of clout when it comes time to set it up for next year.
Seemed like a good location, and super shuttle service to me. Some confusion as to where the CPRATS were supposed t be, but nothing insurmountable.
See you all nest year.
Susan, Thanks again, you did great.

Its interesting contrast that when Ron gave us the tour in August - everything in build was C-Dory. _________________

Hi, I want to thank Susan for her work on this thru out the year. She was really stressed if it would all work out. Glad we had a great turn out. Had we left this up to me we would have all been sleeping under the over pass with the rest of the Mayors friends. Really it was all Susans hard work and she deserves all the praise.
I did want to point out for the future a few things that made this location work and those that did not come did not see.
1) The rooms are great and well priced for seattle. No really they are not high for this city.
2)The hotel serves breakfast every morning. Really, breakfast ,not that fruit and muffin b.s. you see at a lot of places. You can have fruit and muffins but also
potatoes, eggs and sausage. Oh and fresh waffles to.
3) The hotel is with in walking distance of the boats afloat show and several restaurants.
4) The hotel provides a free shuttle that will pick you up at the train station, boat show or just about anywhere in Seattle. regular stops at the space needle, pikes place, and other land mark's. We stayed at the boat show Monday until 7pm and they came and got us at no charge.
5) FREE PARKING. Most hotel in Seattle charge for parking. 10 to 20 a day for guess. Here its FREE. So free parking and a free ride to the show.
6) The pot luck area- Its in the same space as the breakfast area ( see the pic in the album) . Lots of counter space for the dishes. Plugs for keeping hot dishes hot and two sinks for washing up. Hell I cooked the meat balls right there in the pot luck area with no problems. So no matter what you bring we will have room and power to keep it hot. The room also has a great view of the lake and the city.
Could not have found us a better place to hold this event and we all owe it to susan because I did noting but cook and stand where I was told to when I was told to. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Thanks for finding a great place and for getting it done. I wonder if we can make a pre reservation for next year yet. Pretty sure, the more rooms we book, the better price we can get. Maybe not so much difference on the room rate but on the meeting room, which was really great.
