We finally made it to Opening Day on Everlong this year and had a blast! In the past, Back in college, Jonathan rowed for WWU in the Windermere Cup and I watched from the Montlake Cut, and a couple times early in our marriage we went to watch together, but this was our first time viewing from the water. Our yacht club has a spot across from the log boom where we are allowed to anchor and raft up. Jonathan had to take the boat over on Wednesday and stay on it until Saturday. He picked us up in the dinghy Friday night.

Here’s Tyee. We are the boat on the left.
