The Little Things

John Scalzi asks what did you do this weekend?  It was a boating weekend for us.  Out through the Ballard locks to the Bell Harbor Marina and Back after a two night stay..where we saw tugboats, cruise liners, interesting boat names and of course the ever popular sunset with boats in the foreground.                   

An interesting observation that came up over the weekend was about how everyone's worlds are so different...even day to day our worlds can change.  Boating and then traveling to the marina of the waterfront in Seattle was a trip into a different life.  People name their boats such interesting names...

I think we finally found a name for ours...it's  a Monk design built by Grande...for those who know about these things.  It's an old Coast Guard vessel since remodeled for pleasure boating.   The name?  The Rio Grande.   It's had at least four temporary names since we got it....prior to our ownership it was called the Last Time.    Nope, not the Last Time...many more times to be had.   It was a fun weekend.  Enjoy the trip into a different world for the moment...Why Knot?  

 That's the fun in the photo experience.  Maria
