The weather in Seattle has been beautiful for the past couple of days -- so beautiful, in fact, that a good friend and I ventured out on Tuesday for a round of golf at Washington National GC in Auburn. The temperature at tee-off was a brisk 38 degrees, but the course was reasonably dry and in very good shape for this time of year. Our goal is to play at least once each month during the off-season, and so far, we've been able to play in each of November, December and January. With lowland snow in the forecast for the Seattle area early next week, we may not get another chance this month.
A beautiful Northwest Trawler 45 entered Bell Harbor Marina today. According to boatinfoworld.com, this Northwest 45, the Orca Blue, was delivered in 2008 and is owned by Larry and Linda Hansen of Sammamish, WA. The Orca Blue is powered by a single John Deere PowerTech marine diesel engine. See http://pdf.nauticexpo.com/pdf/john-deere/marine-powersource-vol-1-2009-recreational/21509-13958-_22.html.
There's a well-written, detailed account of Orca Blue's 2-1/2 month cruise to Glacier Bay, Alaska in 2009 in a blog post by Peter Whiting, the co-developer of the Northwest Trawlers.
