I took these yesterday, the Manhattan Yacht Club has a vessel anchored off the southern tip of Manhattan and you take a short boat ride from NJ to get there. They have a bar to purchase drinks and they play music, you may bring your own food. The best time to go is in the evening and watch the sunset and the lights of the city come on. I took the family there and got these

That's pretty cool.

I am fond of saying the best boat is someone else's. I looked on the site and this tour didn't jump out at me.

It is not really a tour, it is more of a party location. You get on this shuttle launch it takes you to the party and drink, enjoy the scenery and you catch one of the shuttles back. The last shuttle returns 10:45PM. I will try to find more information and post it.

That was an ice storm? Why so much on the towers?

If those are lift towers, what happened to the haul ropes?

If those are lift towers, what happened to the haul ropes?

It’s the Far West T bar towers. Being the start of the season, It was due to have the rope put up but this 18 day storm beat the crew to it.

We had to move out of our 100-year old house in the Madrona neighborhood, and I'll sure miss having a workshop. I won't be doing my own sharpening and mounting anymore. But we found a condo OVER Lake Union with a fabulous view, so I ain't complainin'. (Those are the Olympics behind the Aurora Bridge)

I'm almost positive I have a photo of my daughter, from when she was three or four years old on that big boulder in your last picture. We did a nice easy overnight trip to Lake Winnemucca, and I think we camped right around those trees. I'll have to dig up the picture to compare!
