All Hail the QUEEN of the Hobo's !!!!! Yes it is true, I have won the crown. Big Mike was crowned King and yours truly the queen. I had sooo much fun! For dinner we had fresh caught white salmon grilled on the BBQ, corn on the cob, baked potatoes, salad, grilled bread... an open bar. Gosh life is GOOD when you are a hobo. I even dressed Zoe in a matching little hobo costume. She looked so cute. We got to know a bunch of new people and had a great weekend. It was fun to get out of the same ol' rut, meet some people, drink and laugh. I had a really good time. They feed us a great breakfast every morning and an awesome dinner both nights. Tomorrow we have coffee and pastries on the dock then we head out around noon, back to Port Washington. Can't wait to do it again.

Port Orchard Yacht Club Labor Day Weekend Cruise This weekend is the official Hobo Cruise for our Yacht Club. We cruised into our destination around noon on Friday, just around the corner at the Bremerton Yacht Club. WOW... what a beautiful club and marina they have! The docks are both open and covered, boat houses line the wide and well lighted docks. The club house has a large meeting rooms as well as a big common area where we enjoyed a great breakfast this morning. The kitchen is set up to feed an army! They also have a very nice little park and a a Hugh pavilion that also boasts a full kitchen on one end and a gas fireplace on the other... FANCY... We were supposed to have one oar dingy races today but after that big breakfast I think everyone just wants to take a nap to kick back and just visit. Tonight we are BBQing burgers in the pavilion. I have to work on my Hobo costume. Tomorrow night they crown the King and Queen Hobo and of course I plan on winning. LOL

I have discovered that I actually have a following... well sorta.. I am so excited. I mean I knew that a few friends and weird relatives followed my Blog.. (Thanks Janie for ALWAYS posting a comment to let me know SOMEONE is listening)... But I recently found out that people actually look forward to my daily blurbs about weather and tidal shift and ducks and geese. So I am once again spurred on to try my best to post a bit more often and not neglect my blog..... I finished the canvas covers for the front windshield and side windows. I sewed them and Ben put in the snaps. There are a few things I would have done different, better... but all in all they turned out great. The labor was free, the material was about $60 not bad. They sure keep the sun from burning in all day long. It keeps the boat so much cooler. Next step is the side windows and lower bedroom windows.
