Pretty calm day. Be prepared for when it not. Nice family pictures...

What is the 'Bridge with Towers'?

thks otto.

Montlake Bridge, and that water way is the Montlake Cut, connects into Lake Union and eventually through locks to the Puget Sound. This bridge connects into the University of Washington. That area on the water just E of the bridge is a popular anchorage in that pic for the games, they sound a Tornado warning-like horn when the Dawgs score a touchdown The anchorage area begins to look like a small island on game day..here's Husky stadium just outside the the Montlake Bridge.

Those rats are getting big on ya Rip..
Excellent time to have a boat when they are that age. They will get 15 years fun out of it.

Nice family and a nice boat!

What type is it?

Did you happen to cross a very white guy standing in a speedboat showing off his muscles? That picture of hblair is still printed on my cornea...

There are two great days in the life of a boat owner,the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells the boat.

I hope your personal experience with boats is better than mine. There's just something wrong when the motor costs more than the entire boat to replace.

Can we expect to also see pictures of the new boat house covered in astroturf sometime in the near future?

Great pics, Rip and a lovely looking family.

You, erm... look a bit like Bruce Willis in that picture!

Thanks for the gracious replies, all.

Extra motor (kicker) is for trolling (no, not on this BBS

)

The boat is a 20'3" Campion, Canadian product. The bank owns it for awhile.
