Checking Out Adam's Boat

Thur June 3rd: Bill and I shot up to Bellingham to check out the progress on the MAX POWER Adam's new boat.HDR Longhorne We stopped off in Edison at the Longhorn saloon for some lunch.

By the way those two beautiful rides in front of the saloon do not belong to Billy or myself. “Darn It!!” Edison is on the south end of Chuckanut Drive. After a couple of great burgers we headed off to Bellingham. Where we found Adam hard at work (fiber glassing) the good ship Max Power. Spent a couple of hr’s giving Adam our crappy advise and installing his new radar.HDR Max Power All in all we had a great brother bonding day and I was able to set foot on Adam’s new boat. Looks like he will be ready to head north around the 9th of June
