Moving Day
We had to move today from our 'free' camping just east of Seattle. It wasn't really free, we had to attend a 2.5 hour presentation on buying something of a timeshare in this group of campgrounds. They wanted about $7500 up front plus over $500 a year in maintenance fees. With all the extras it wasn't really a bad deal, but since Karen has been retired such a short time we aren't prepared to commit to a certain kind of lifestyle yet.
We ended up near Anacortes, Washington, which is north of the Seattle area. We found a local indian casino which has a fairly inexpensive RV park attached and gives us a view of the water. They also have Wi-Fi for the campground and cable TV. We can surf the internet and get email, but for some reason cannot send email. Also, since we haven't had TV for a while we hadn't heard of Hurricane Rita until today!
I just HAD to drive into town to check out a couple of marinas and talked with one sailboat broker for a short while. I'll go back tomorrow or the next day and have them show me some boats.
On our projected agenda may be some gambling, kayaking and taking another boat cruise through the San Juan Islands. I found a place where we could rent a Capri 22 sailboat for a day, also.
Love ya.....

Hi Guys!
You're having a great time, it seems!
We're sorry to not help you look at boats, Dan, but time is beginning to seem very short, and there's still so much to accomplish.
Based on your blog, we too have started one! It's www.steve-and-veronica.blogspot.com. Steve's just started it, so there's not in it, but we plan to do more. So much easier than sending emails individually!
We probably won't be back to Seattle area until at least October 7, so hope you can manage to visit us on your way "south" again. I'd especially like to hear all about your trip to Victoria, as well as the kayaking!
Glad you like the dahlias, too-aren't they just amazing flowers?
Also, I wanted to let you, Karen, know about a fabulous fabric outlet in Portland called Fabric Depot (also have a discount coupon for it.) It's huge, and if you haven't found your sofa fabric yet, would probably have something.
Anyway, cheerio and PLEASE give us a call when you'll be passing by.
