@ShamashAran @RealKhaylee I had some the other day after lunch in Roche Harbor. An affogato…a vanilla scoop with a double shot of espresso.

@idahopatriot47 It’s ok if you plan out your trip. Know where you’re going. I like the marina area near the hospital. Puget Sound area is better

@BrookeAlbany22 @SKurvach My parents loved The Duke. I was a bit too young to appreciate who he was at the time I met him. I mostly remember his very big yacht moored out in the harbor. Roche Harbor, Wa. 1977 https://t.co/VFOJ5CZFpL

Roche Harbor was a nice place to celebrate the 70th birthday of Marsha’s cousin. It makes for a really nice visit, but I don’t think I could ever retire there. Here’s why - https://t.co/cPpKHf0xFn

@heyitsmeCarolyn Took my party barge to Puget Sound Washington. Once! It's a barge not a boat. They can't take rough water, they plow through waves not ride over them.

Zuckerberg’s $300M yacht pulled into Lake Union today. Same day Meta laid off 1,400 Seattle workers. He wasn’t even on it. The boat just showed up anyway. This is what class war looks like. https://t.co/UpIxu9yIbB

@Xplorer_Report Yeah I hear that. I’m in the San Juans/Puget sound. My boat is a twin diesel, no sails 😅. Been sailing with friends. You can get out on the water all year here if you want. Great “sailing weather” in the winter. Summer the weekend warriors come out but it’s still not too crowded

@Angello3400PRMR I haven't been on the TREK, but it looks like a good-time righteous party barge, and it's often easy to get on one if you're friendly enough. Just one of many going around this time of year. Seattle Seafair Torchlight Parade is tonight at 7 PM. Fleet Week ended yesterday, and

@RichardCabezza @OrdinaryMan1776 You give me handgun envy. Fucking shitty WA and that initiative that passed forcing gun registration on private sales. I didn't get all the guns I wanted before it passed. Then of course there was the tragic boating accident where all my guns and PMs ended up in the Puget Sound https://t.co/xOCuyJcU7S
