December 2003 Day Cruise

I hope someone knows where lunch is, 'cause I don't......guess I'll just listen to any channel that has a "6" in it and I'll find it.

Montlake Cut area sounds good to me. If we're on different channels, maybe we'll at least see :roll: each other and can wave out arm signals.
 
If we get Laurna Jo back, we will try to launch at Coulon , around 9 or so. As for Magnuson Park ,is that south or north of Coulon? I guess my question: Is it further to drive to for us coming up 167 from Puyallup?
Also we know the lunch place at Fisherman's Terminal. We "docked and dined" there this summer. Chinook's is the name. Cat-Folks if you get there early, or before we show up maybe you can let them know there is a bunch of us coming so we might be able to dine close to each other? Or maybe when we know how many of us are cruising in, we can call on the phone and let them know too. Am sure it will work out just fine.

Eddie Cantor - I am old enough to vaguely remember him. He was a vaudville entertainer, radio & TV. A quick Google check gives his life as 1892 to 1964. He was a pal of Al Jolson's - and don't ask who Al Jolson was!

Brock,
So who the heck is Eddie Cantor? Did he own a C-Dory?
Just Curious, Leo.

Chinook's doesn't take reservations - no matter the bribe. Catman and I will try and get to the restaurant early but no guarantees. They shouldn't be packed at Noon - famous last words. Let's figure out the munching/lunching head count on Friday by Noon.

For those that don't know, the southern tip of Lake Washington is Coulon Park. Can't go further south via water unless you are salmon or water fowl enjoying a float in or on Cedar River.

Jim,
I would suspect that Magnuson Park would be GUD for you, as it is at the old Sand Point Naval Station. (Which is NE of Univ. of Wa.)

BTW.....GUD doesn't mean "good"....it means Geographically UnDesirable). (I haven't used that term since my "dating" days). :smilep
 
Hey, Jim, choose Coulon (or Rainier Beach) if you want to spend more time on the water, less on asphalt. Besides, Coulon's my favorite.
Pat and Tyboo, thanks for the education about Eddie Cantor. Now I can appear a little bit smarter.
 
I can't believe there are people out there who don't know who Eddie Cantor is (was)! No wonder I can't find a good hot pastrami sandwich out here. If I may paraphrase that great vaudvillian and navigator Chevy Chase, "Channel 67, Channel 68, whatever it takes"
 
Thanks for the heads up. I wrote that after I got off my trip, and wasn't too with it. I consulted the Washington Boaters Site, and saw that Coulon was the place. See ya'all there.
Jim
 
Catman: It is my understanding that the "C" in both C-Span and C-Dory stands (or stood) for Cantor. You may confirm this in the archives.
 
Agreed, Magnuson is GUD for Jim. Coming up from Puyallup, Jim will come to Renton where Coulon is located about half an hour before he reaches Magnuson, and it is an easy jump on and off the freeway. He just comes up I-5 to I-405, and jumps off at Park Street exit, it is a short hop over to the lake and Coulon...

The Cantor-Dory???? Yo Mamma! Next you be tellin' us the V in V-Berth stands for Rudy Vallee! Good one, Marty! Catman - you HAVE heard of Rudy Vallee, no? (typed while crooning "I'm just a vagabond lover...") And so, any THOUGHT of staying on topic has gone by the boards...way to go Brats!!

Jim - can you post the link to the Washington Boaters Site? Is that the one the State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation put together a while ago with all or most of the launch sites listed county by county?

Hey Pat-How about planning the Jersey Diner cruise? We could stop at Kaminsky's, Mastoris', Rossi's, Hals, the Claremont and, for some culture, the Museum of Science and Trucking in the Meadowlands.
 
Here's my "count" on vessels planning to join this cruise on Saturday.

"Anita Marie" Fred and Robbin
"Anna Leigh" David
"Daydream" Pat, Patty, and Austin
"Laurna Jo" Jim and Laurie
"Miss Mirth" Marty, Dot, Joe, Pat and Anne (full vessel!)

Yes? No? Anyone else?

Any Mystery Vessels?
