We had some excitment on Friday evening. Our little Westie, Maddie was chewing on this chew stick thing and started choking. Karyl was afraid she would die and called an emergency animal clinic in Bellevue. I thought Maddie would be OK but was overruled and Karyl was able to find someone at the party who would take her to the clinic. The vet at the clinic took a bunch of x-rays and even put the dog under so they could examine her more closely. They finally decided the dog was out of danger and Karyl took a taxi (it was now after midnight) back to the boat. Karyl called me when she arrived to come up and pay the taxi. I was just lying in bed waiting for her but had dozed off. So, up and get dressed and down the long dock to the marina gate where the taxi was waiting for me.
On Saturday, one of our members with the largest boat took anyone who wanted to go on a boat trip to Newport Shores. This is a place that had made a housing development sometime around the 50's or 60's with canals cut into Lake Washington. We toured up and down the canals looking at the fine houses, most of which had a large boat tied up in front of their house. Very nice. There where 4 houses for sale and I figured we could get one of them for around 3 mil and I would need another 3 mil for a presentable boat to park in front. Where is my lotto ticket?
On Sunday we had more food and drink and in the evening there was a raffle ticket drawing. I had bought 10 bucks worth and then on the last drawing I won the big prize of $100. YEAH!!
Karyl's cooking in Oak Harbor
Now we are in Oak Harbor and will get with my brother and his wife tomorrow to spend the day and have a rib dinner. We manage to get the Oak Harbor Yacht Club reciprocal slip for the next 2 days so we are basically staying here free. Just $6.00 for the electricity.
