I don't want to keep hijacking the "it's too Friggin' Hot thread, but wanted to share some pictures.

The Local Bayliner vendor/dealerships have an Annual Rendezvous, and this year it was at Roche Harbor. Anyway, I figured they may be heading out Sunday and we'd be able to find a slip. On the way there the normally smoother waters We were avoiding the Bayliner exodus from their rendezvous, that made the trip there a bit slow and go to get through the wakes.
We went up there with Monica's Dad and his GF.
We also cruised with some Friends from Mo and Mila's Dance.

He has an '81 245 Sundancer that is in really good shape.

The cruise back was nothing short of perfect.
Great sunset, great family time and perfectly calm waters.

Todd,

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing Roche for myself in 5 weeks! Yikes! I can't believe the trip is only 5 weeks away!?!?

Yipee!!! (~;
 
Is your camera on steroids? Does your camera ever take a bad picture?

Once again great pictures
Thanks Paul

5 weeks? ARGH!!! I'm not ready! I still have "the list" I need to get through before we leave! I've been scrambling through it and hope I finish it before we leave on our first vacation in 3 weeks!! I'll neve make it!

Nice pictures and with the jackets those folks were wearing, you'd think it was January!! :grin:

They're from SoCal so we let them slide.
 
Well it's been 3 weeks since we made our last Run to Roche Harbor. What a difference 45 degrees makes. Last time we were there, it was in the 50's. This trip it was hot and in the 90's.

A perfect day. We left late again, around 7:20 and were 5 minutes to the boat launch when the sun set.

The Bittersweet part is that I still have a coolant leak. I've had it "Fixed" twice now, so I'm thinking it's something while I'm at cruising speed.
Anyway, she's back at the shop ....we'll see how this week stacks up.
 
Todd, where did you put in? It would sure be nice to be able to make a day trip out of it. With us, it's 3 hours each way. Spent both Saturday and Sunday in South Sound on the hook rafted up with some friends (Meridian 391) cooking out and enjoying the sun.

Thanks for the pics!

Hey Chris
We put in, in Anacortes(really the Swinomish Slough). We just bought the annual pass. I know you have the Kick A*s 340, so that's a long expensive run.
When you do come up let us know.
