What a great way to start off the holiday. We just happened to peak out our window to see the Goodyear Blimp floating off the shores of Beach Drive. According to the Goodyear Blimp website, it is scheduled to be in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
Super Yacht Lady Lola cruising by
June 9, 2016 by 1 Comment
It looks like Lady Lola may have been leaving Bremerton when we spied her from the shores of Beach Drive. Here’s a pic heading towards Alki Point.
This Super Yacht is 205 feet and available for charter for a mere $365,000… per week! Built in 2002, she was declared the most beautiful yacht of her time. Here’s more info.
If Lady Lola does something remarkable, making her worthy of membership to the Alki Yacht Club, she might be allowed to tie to our buoy!

Bald Eagles off Beach Drive
June 5, 2016 by 1 Comment
The other day, a bald eagle apparently decided it did not want to share it’s small fish. (At least, I think it was a small fish).
I watched as these two flew back and forth, landing on rocks and post off Beach Drive by Emma Schmitz View Point.
I have a couple more photos of the eagles posted at Beach Drive Bungalow.

What’s with all the tents at Mee Kwa Mooks today? Well…it’s the second annual Emerald Waters Fly Fest!
This event is free and features a cook-off. Last year, the event was held at Lincoln Park. Mee Kwa Mooks appears to be more conducive for this event with the lack of picnic tables. Click here for more info.

We also have:

I will also have a couple limited edition signed Giclee prints of Rooster of the Sea available.

I was just telling my hubby that in the years we’ve lived here, we have seen a lonely Loon singing but not a pair.
We were thrilled this afternoon to be able to watch two Common Loons.
