One picture of your last outing.

Did a quick water test yesterday morning after pulling the pump and doing an oil/spark change. Wanted to make sure it was ready for the holiday weekend. Took the opportunity to get a few wakeboard runs in. Beautiful morning right after a downpour. Lake was nearly empty.

Finally got to do something we haven’t done in a boat yet. Boated in the city! Lake Washington

Pro tip (not really but I personally had no clue). We had no idea what the yellow markers were for. Then the lights started flashing on top of them and a seaplane took off. Turns out it they are the runway markers on Lake Union. 3EAC1CC8-C69B-46C3-9C60-D6948C5B5CDF.jpeg
 
"Cautionary Buoys are used to warn mariners of dangers such as firing ranges, race courses, seaplane bases, traffic separations, underwater structures and areas where no safe through channel exists. Yellow in colour they carry an identification mark, or letter. If they have a topmark, it is a single yellow "X" shape. If lighted, the light a yellow flashing (Fl) four seconds light."
 
Saw what I’m pretty sure is a ranger tug on one of the smaller lakes yesterday…. A great loop boat for sure, even has the dinghy!

Where here for diner Sunday night (8/14/22). Really nice place. Checking out Circles next (just next door to Finns).

Haven’t been to Finns yet, but we frequent Circles often. I also work about 2 miles from there, maybe one day for lunch.
