Just Pulled In: Coal Harbor Marina - Part II

This was a long time ago, when I was a teenager. I believe it was a Clark Craft Kit boat. A 26-foot something cabin cruiser; had a head, stove and slept 2.
I installed teak decking over the glass and replaced the plastic steering wheel with a proper wooden one.
I had the time of my life on it for over a decade and used up several lives.
Ended up selling it to a friend who got a job caretaking a house on one of those small Islands, where the owners spent the winters in warmer climates.
He ended up getting the boat swamped and shipwrecked in a storm, managing to barely escape in a rubber tender.
Since then, I always had friends with boats of different sizes that do more than satisfy my nautical desires.

Couple shots of "Windflight", and some Explorer Yachts...

[QUOTE='roundthehorn]The last boat, (white on white rather than the usual standard gray hull) should be a Nordhavn 64.[/QUOTE]

The angle of that shot makes it look rather stubby.

Looks like a Searay and a new Seabus between North Van & Downtown.

Looks like Vancouver and the Feds are handing out ultimatums to the derelicts in English Bay...

Looks like we’re heading for Green Olympics, and I don’t mean that in ecological terms. The Hawaiian pineapple express is giving us temperatures in the 50F range, with the mountains turning into slush.
Keep that in mind when contemplating dropping a couple of grand on scalper tickets.

And just when you though things couldn’t get any more exciting, we get a new gas station. The old one in the foreground looks like its sinking.
Also, a closer look at the new SeaBus.

Washington Marine Group (Victoria BC) was commissioned to build it for $25Million.
Interesting enough, soon thereafter the parking meters downtown went up to $5 per hour.

I'm always thrilled about subsidizing services I never use:

The red ink should end next year, when the system starts getting an extra $130 million a year in revenue through higher fares, fuel taxes and parking taxes."

Queenship's new "Meriweather"

Correct, you must have friends in Alaska, as this is top secret gas station stuff.
116′ Chevron Legacy built by Ketchikan Shipyard / Alaska Ship & Drydock, Inc (ASD).
Not sure which container company ship that is.
