All,
The next Seattle Boat Show will be Jan 23- Feb 01, 2015 and I'm starting to plan the gathering(s). At present, I'm hoping to do the brewery again on Friday, Jan 23rd and I'm working with Pat and the folks at the brewery to put that together. Sat. evening (1/24/15), will likely involve a dinner or get together someplace downtown. If there is interest, I can arrange for a Sat. AM cruise. We could either do a small flotilla of C-Brats to take visitors to the area out on the sound (weather permitting) OR we could arrange for one of the local cruise companies to take us out. I'm open to ideas, so let's hear yours!

C-Brats, C Dories, maybe a Lake Washington get together/ cruise? Little more protected on the lake, not much but some. The ramps will be reletively clear that time of year. Cruise up to Ivars on Lake Union for brunch, lunch, liner, or dinner. _________________ Chuck

We'd be up for a cruise and would be happy to host some out of towners for the cruise. Thanks Roger. _________________ Patti and Barry

Dont know about moorage Rick but Andrews Bay is a nice place to drop a hook. There might be some guest moorage at Fishermans terminal or some of the marinas on Lake Union, I just am not sure and dont want to give you the wrong info

I don't know about guest moorage on the fresh water side of things (Lake Union or Lake Washington). There may be some but it's likely very limited. On the salt water side Bell Harbor is great and should have available guest moorage then. So should Elliott Bay marina. I know at least one C-Brat couple stayed on their boat in Bell Harbor last year or the year before. |

I think we tried to get last minute guest moorage at Bell Harbor last year and were told that they were full. Perhaps its early enough right now to make a reservation. I do think others come by boat and try to stay at Bell Harbor during the show.
The marina where Palisades restaurant is always has guest moorage from what the harbormaster said. It is a bit further away from where the show takes place but maybe a $20 taxi ride? |

That's Elliott Bay Marina. I bet if we made some reservations now, we could have a mini C-Brats gathering at Bell Harbor Marina. |

I really like the Lake Union/Lake Washington cruise idea which would include passing through the Montlake Cut, affording all to reverently pay homage to an especially fine institution of higher learning.
I'm guessing we'd do a late afternoon or evening dinner at Ivar's or wherever, so I'd rather moor on the freshwater side of the locks. Fisherman's Terminal might have something.
Where is Andrew's Bay? |

We plan to make the trip from Texas again and would like to join the activities.
We will not have a rental car and would be happy to contribute to a van and share in any other costs.

It's just south of the I-90 bridge on the Seattle side.

Hey, that's our neck of the woods. Literally 3 blocks away in one of the most beautiful parks in the city. Seward Park has a great 2.2 mile loop for walking/running/biking that Caryn walks all the time. (Note, I said Caryn )
Andrews Bay is the most popular anchorage on Lake Washington, especially in the summer where you can practically walk shore to shore without touching water but there are boats in the bay all year around. There are plenty of launches in the area, Stan Sayers Pits, Atlantic Street launch at Rainier Beach, and Coulon Beach in Renton.
I would be happy to pull our boat through the locks for this event, weather permitting of course.

Thanks Chuck and Marty.
Okay, since Andrews Bay is essentially 3 blocks from Peter's house, how 'bout if we--I'm just throwing this out there--how about if we all anchor in the bay, row to shore in our respective dinghys (or one may be provided for you), and then walk the short distance to Peter's house for a potluck? Hell, he and Caryn might even have enough floor space for a slumber party. |
