May we all enjoy this month of ritual dieting with neighbours, family, and friends. And without any more deadly explosives loaded with flesh ripping nails, ball bearings and oversized marbles. Amen!
We are considering a west Puget Sound location. How long does it take you to drive to Kingston ferry terminal?
Is that the closest terminal to reach the east shore?
Thank you

Me too, lol.
The idea of letting girlfriends (or buddies) affect important decisions under our roof is nothing short of offensive.
We have a quick and short answer for anyone who tells us 'You know what you should do....?" - "Yes, we do. Thank you for your concern".
This can easily be taken out...
It will be a historically cold day in hell if any of her gym (or any other kind) girlfriends successfully overrides my final decision or veto power under our roof for anything the needs to be decided affecting our lives.
The same goes for the unqualified opinion of any of my male buddies.
Pssstt...you're not drinking tequila, if it comes with a worm in it. It's Mezcal.
You can always dig up some earth worms and drown them in your favorite bottle of Patron, though.
Everything we've read about Poulsbo makes us want to be in PNW sooner than later. Our home based in WA will be dictated chiefly by the wife's work location, but I'm hoping it's near Anacortes or Poulsbo.
How is life at the marina as a live aboard?
Is it possible to score a 45'-50' live aboard...
My condolences for your loss. As for the letters, what harm could it bring to your family if you read the first and then make a decision whether to share them or not.
At the very least, you should gain an intimate perspective of what they felt, thought, dreamed and planned at their young age...
Thank you. Watching and learning about weather has always been a hobby of mine since I was 7 years old and got soaked going to school on a day that was supposed to be sunny, lol....boy, was I mad at the weatherman
In southern California we try a similar tactic to keep east coasters from moving here. You're not deterring us, lol.
We're moving to the Puget Sound and we'll be boating in BC waters, hopefully 4-6 months out of the year [emoji3]
I understand the need to protect water lines from frezzing. But what's the reasoning behind cutting off shore power to the docks? Do they at least give you a courtesy notice that it's coming?
Questions from a newbie wannabe to those experienced die hard liveaboards in PNW:
What preparations do you make to deal with ongoing subfreezing temps if and when the marina shut the water off for weeks at a time?
Thank you in advance for your answers :)
Rob,
To mitigate the 'fear of the unknown', (and lack of experience) getting formal education will work great for you and your family. You and your wife (at least) could attend as many motorboat certification courses as you can find in your area.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that offers toilet/bidet combo systems like those used in homes?
We have those at home, and must admit we're spoiled by them.

Does anyone know of any successfu liability civil cases that were caused by wakes from passing boats?
