Back Home

We are back home now. After our golfing weekend in the Tri Cities we went to Portland. We stayed at the Jantzen Beach RV Park on Hayden Island just across the boarder from Washington. They have a nice park with two pools and a lot of other stuff. We just spent the night.

The reason for the trip was I had to finish up looking at a boat that was nearing completion. Sue and I saw the boat last April when it was mostly just a hull. Now it is in the water and just about ready to head to Mexico. The owners/builders Chris and Bill Brees are really nice people. Bill showed me around and Chris gave Sue a tour. This boat is a power catamaran that is 62 feet long and about 20 feet wide. All aluminum construction. Twin 200 hp John Deer Diesel motors. Generator, water maker and a whole lot of other stuff. The plan to travel to Mexico for the winter and Alaska for the summer. Sounds like fun.

After working for a bit we went back to the RV Park and went for a swim. After dinner we went for a walk around the place down to the river. Jantzen Beach is a small community. The RV Park is a small part of it. Mostly it is an old style trailer park. They call them Park Models now. There are quite a few of the trailers that sit right on the river with a great view. It was interesting looking around as I remember living in a 10 x 50 trailer a long time ago. Sue, I and Charlie liked the walk. Charlie was in sniffing heaven. Tuesday we drove home and arrived about 1 PM. Next time out will be Moses Lake for another golf tournament.
