Well, the Admiral and I finally bit the bullet, I resigned in Jacksonville FL and moved across country to take a position in Seattle Washington. Lot of opportunity and lots of boating opportunity. However, as a Southern Boy who thinks anything north of Interstate 10 is a foreign country, it has been a culture shock. My idea of winterizing was roll the boat into the garage and turn the heater on to 55. Now that i am in the Seattle Area, The temps have not been above 55 since I have been here and have been as low as 34.
I learned real fast how to winterize with anti-freeze and I am currently looking for a place to put in the water where i can obtain maps of the local waterway.
Still looking for a place to call my own in the Seattle to Everett area and working on my goal of becoming a Kept Man with enough money from the Admiral to keep me in fuel and bait.
Are there any local Iboats members in the Seattle area? Is there any local gatherings? I am anxious to get in the water but really want to learn the local customs, depths, hazards in the area first.
