We unexpectedly went boating today...just not on our boat. We were invited to take a ride on Stay Awhile, our neighbor's new RT 23. We'd been aboard a couple of times to take a look and welcome her to the Foss, but we hadn't actually been out on the water.
What fun! For those of you who may not know, this boat has a 200hp outboard, where Europa has a diesel inboard. We cruised at a comfortable 25 mph, getting up to about 35 at times. Our boat can do a bit over 20, but we typically cruise at 7. So...just a different experience.
Added attraction: We knew Caleb and Leslie were fishing off Point Defiance in Caleb's Starcraft, so we cruised by to say hello. No fish on but they looked like they were quite content...Caleb was mooching and Leslie was reading a book. Seems like a good way to spend a Saturday to me!
We headed to the Narrows Marina for lunch at Boathouse 19. We had no other plans so the next thing we know....we're in Oro Bay! (Usually a couple hour cruise for us.) It was fun to show the Dockwassers one of our favorite places. Can't wait to go back...with both boats...in summer weather.
Another wonderful day on the water.
