Anyone have details as to where/what bus to catch???

thanx

Ahh yes, the bus to Sea-tac. http://transit.metrokc.gov

The 194 to Seattle takes you from Sea-tac to downtown with only a couple of stops. It stops in the bus tunnel in downtown. The bus stop at the airport is on the baggage claim level on the south end of the terminal. It runs about twice an hour. The 174 also goes to downtown but stops FREQUENTLY between the airport and downtown. I've taken these routes before so if you need anymore info that you can't find on the website, email me.

And fares aren't simply $1.25; they are confusing (and I don't pay attention to fares because I have a pass). For example, a peak hour trip (3-6pm) from the airport to downtown is $2. Read the fare info online.

-howie

Howie,

I'd really recommend Downtown over the airport. With the priceline rooms being so cheap right now..its really worth the few extra $$ than to have to worry about transpo from the airport area every day.

If you really need a ride from the airport, I'd be happy to make one trip out on the 16th and drop people from the airport to downtown (taking the HOV lane!). You all can coordinate it amongst yourselves. I can fit 3 others in my car.

Thanks for the help!!!

How about a beautiful afternoon/evening sail on the bay with the city skyline in the background and the sunset behind the Olympic Mts. while enjoying a nice glass of wine or two?

OK, here's the deal. For those of you who won't be attending the game on Friday, I'll be able to take out 5 people for an evening sail on the bay before we head to Kells. As of today, I haven't been able to reserve a berth for Friday night at the Bell Harbor Marina on the waterfront. I won't know for sure until that day, so for now, we will be sailing from the Elliott Bay Marina on Friday and Saturday morning. http://128.121.190.9/
I do have a berth reserved for Saturday night at the Bell Harbor Marina, http://www.portseattle.org/harbor/re...l.htm#location ,so we'll be able to do some sailing on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from there.
The Bell Harbor Marina is easily accessible from downtown by trolley on the waterfront or walking.
If you want to go out, it would be nice if you have non-marking boat shoes. If not, socks or barefeet are ok. Hopefully, the weather will be gorgeous and hot.
Here's a pix of the boat (well, at least the same model). http://www.sailboatowners.com/boats/...28&fno=0&bts=T

Now that's a NEAT boat Hunki. Joh and I would be delighted to have a sail if space permits on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Oz, have Joh check her email. I'll start working out the schedule as more folks check-in.
The boat, for it's size, feels alot larger than it is. The only problem is that the cockpit isn't really very large, especially if the boat is heeling in strong winds.
However, Punki has finally convinced me after 30 years that just because there may be another sailboat on the water, I don't have to be in a race with it. So now I just ease the sheets and take it easy. Punki just doesn't go sailing with me anymore when I want to "wash the rails".

Hunki: great boat - what's her name? I'll come and wash the rail with you. We may need to tie Ozstamps to the mast however with a squeeze bottle so that:
a) he doesn't fall overboard or gets in the way and
b) he doesn't spill his champagne.
How's that for 'a sense of humour'?
Looking forward to seeing you and Punki...

I'd love to come on the boat (2 of us). Thanks. This should be great!

Hunki. Here on the Chesapeake Bay we call it "burying the rails"...

Unfortunately, my parents realized a few yaers ago that I was getting more use out of their boat than they were. They of course offered to sell it to me at which point I suggested a lovely room for them at a local retirement home.... end of story. There is no more boat (Irwin 34 Citation) and my parents are doing quite well without the supplementary oxygen.

As for the SeaDoo 4, chexmixy has reminded me of lovely airfares. However, I must still remain un-confirmed at this point.

Beckles, thank you so much for finding this Priceline deal! Today I reserved August 14, 15 and 16 at the Elliott Grand Hyatt (downtown) for that same $40 rate.

The special pre-paid Expedia rate with the low-price guarantee averages $171 per night for those same three nights. The Hyatt site shows $235 per night.

geo1004, this boat is a Hunter 33.5 named "Serenity" which has such high freeboard that if "we bury the rails", then we have the spreaders in the water, too!
My first boat that I owned when I first met Punki was a Swedish-built lapstrake hull Scandinavian Folkboat http://www.zyworld.com/folkboats/video.htm with such low freeboard that I was able to drag my hand in the water when sitting on the leeward side. I would frequently "bury the rails", the deck and the cockpit combing boards on that boat.
Of course, now that I don't race any longer, I prefer the "more comfortable" aspects of sailing when I have guests on board. However, if the crew wants "to slug it out", I'm usually more than willing.

Joh we can either tie Oz to the mast or the bow pulpit where he can say his prayers.

ldsant, which day do you want? Friday evening during the game, Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon?

You're not staying for Saturday??
