Boating On Puget Sound
I found this video of boating in January on Puget Sound. The water gets pretty rough out here at this time of year. We don't go out too often during December or January. The fact that we were completely iced in last January didn't help us log any hours :)
Crazy Rain Aboard the Boat Today
Well, living aboard a boat always has surprises.
Today brought tons of rain, (see earlier video). We had a little flooding around town.
We also had plenty of cops, fire & helicopters swarming overhead. It seems as though an older couple got lost in the dark and rain, and drove off the boat ramp. The people were saved and doing well at the hospital.
Very strange day at the marina
Ahoy All!
I have found a few nice items that Amazon is selling that might make a nice Christmas gift for the boater: Enjoy!
