Cornet Bay, November 14,15

Thank you Les and Shelley for the use of your motorhome. I don't know of any 5 star waterfront hotel where the owner comes to room and makes everyone Lattes. Man were we spoiled!

Joe W, thanks for taking us into your hometown, suggesting a great place to eat and then picking up the bill. Holy Cow!

And for the beer guys, what can I say except for you two did it again. Thanks for the mobile brewery.

Roger, Roger, Roger, I love those spuds man and you know how to bring 'em. Flatbed style!

I'm not sure who brought what to eat but it was as good as always. It was nice to see you all again even if it was a short stay.

Oh Mike, did you see DunDee, he moved the fire!!! Jon & Cynthia
 
Hope everyone made it home safe and sound. I sure enjoyed meeting all of you and look forward to doing it again soon! Hey Bill, we're about to become "Peetniks" - I just placed our first order.

OK so the weather wasn't the greatest, it still was a great time. Thanks to Mike and Kay for the chilli and hospitality on the cruise boat, Les and Shelley for those lattes and hangout at the dock, Bill for all the help, David and Pat for the beer, Rodger for the potatos, Kathy for the moorage, JoeW for dinner, Doug and Betty for the hotdogs, Jon and Cynthia for the salmon, Wade and Lois for the company on our 20 minute cruise, Ken and Marge for showing up and anyone else I forgot.

Last time I saw Mike and Kay they were on there way to the Dodge dealer in Lynnwood. I wonder if they make a dodge in CDory green, not that Mike could tell.

Had a great time seeing everyone yesterday. Mike, your "new" 25 is a sweet find. It was great getting a little cruise on it out to the edge of Rosario. I'll send the pic I took of Skipper and Elliott to you and Kay when I get back to North Bend tomorrow when I have access to the dsl line. Also the pic of Anita Marie.

This morning and afternoon the launch ramp here at Guemes Is. was one ugly mess. Logs and junk everywhere and three foot waves and a lot of wind coming straight into the launch ramp. Would have been a disaster waiting to happen if I had tried to get the boat back onto the trailer in all that.

Hope everyone got back to where they came from uneventfully.
 
Twas nice chattin with you all, wish we could have stayed longer. Rick, I have some extra velcro if you need it for that MP3 player ....Our guys 19, other guys 13, was a great football game, quarter finals next week in Puyallup.

Yep, Dave, the Jeep made it up there just fine, but it didn't make it home. About half way through the conversation with the other guy in the picture, Kay says "You do this, this and this, and we drive it home." I kept quiet from there on out.

2004 Dodge 3500, 4wd, Cummins HO. Right off the showroom floor.

I gotta quit going up that way, it costs me bunches every time! This trip was cheaper than the Sequim trip, though.
 
Congratulations Mike & Kay! That is a beautiful tow rig. I went into the local Dodge dealer here in town and sat in a bergundy 3500 a week ago. Man are they nice! I'm green with envy. :mrgreen:
 
Thanks, Larry. I was hoping you would like the idea! The picture doesn't show it too well, but the truck is dark blue. I told Kay when we were following Fred to the second Dodge place (in Lynwood) that I wanted the dark blue. When we got there, the only two 3500's they had were that color. The price the guy gave us first was pretty sad, and I told him we would just sell the Jeep ourselves and go to Portland and buy one for 8k less. He said just a minute, then came back 7k less. Kay told him to find the other thousand, and we would drive it home. Shocked the dickens out of me, so I left it to her. He gave $549 of the grand she asked for, and we took our stuff out of the Jeep.

And, no tax to Oregon buyers.
 
Oh yeah, I like. I've been a Ford man for the past 30 years. But after looking closely and the Dodge's last week I decided my next truck is going to be a Dodge. They've really made some nice improvements in the new model. Cab-forward design gives it a shorter wheelbase and tighter turning radius. More horsepower and quieter. I think Ford has been sitting on their butts while Dodge has passed them by. Nice choice, Mike. You should get many many years of good use out of that rig. It's made for towing that "cruise ship".
 
These CBCD folks are astonishing. One guy is hauling his boat in for engine service, and the next thing you know there is a crowd of folks making an event out of it. Amazing. Shoot, the guy at the marina even moved the fire for us!

The weather even held off. I don't know if the big storm ever hit the waters up there, but I was sure glad we didn't have that boat behind the little Jeep driving back down south in the wind and rain. It did great going up, but there weren't any real tests.

Good to see Shelley on here. Not only does she exist, she brightens the world for it!

Thanks to everyone for the great time and everything else. I'll be sure and let you know when we are going back up to get the boat back from Les.
