Finally, welcome to Seattle in January. Today was a high of 50, and a break in the rain. We haven't had a good cruise in the 318 for a couple months between schedules, weather, work, etc.

All Night Long has been gathering dust in her covered slip... Hosed her off, cleaned her up, and spent a chunk of today running through all the systems and making sure everything is still working as expected.

Aside from my transducer being a POS and crapping out, everything is still as expected.

We stayed in the fresh water (Lake Washington) - and made a cruise by everyone's favorite software company founder.

Yes, he writes my paycheck (my wife's as well) - so he always gets a wave & a nod.

Not sure if I have ever posted a picture of his place from the waterfront... It's HUGE. The houses above him on the hill are 5000+sq foot mansions as well.

From left to right... Indoor/outdoor combo swimming pool and boat house on the far left... moving to the courtyard/yard area in the center, and the primary dock on the middle/right ish.

Too bad he's a Sea Ray owner.

Just something to look at. That's 150 milion.

Pretty impressive but this doesn't beat the pics of the Deadliest Catch boats that you posted a while back. Now that was a sight to behold!

As far as the house goes. For a 150million, I would be pissed that their are other houses in the pic. Just sayin.....

Looks nice, but I agree that it would not be secluded enough for 150 mil.
