Our First Sunset Cruise

For more than two years we have talked about doing a sunset cruise and just never got around to it.  This time we decided to go for it - mainly because schedules didn't allow anything else. We've been wanting to take Bob and Lisa Watkins out for a ride on Stargazer for several months now. They own a beautiful bed and breakfast in Arlington called River Rock Inn and are always busy on the weekends. Our days seem to fly by but we were able to schedule it for this evening. We also invited Al and Sharon Grieci to join us. They've known the Watkins since they attended another church together.

We left Everett around 6:00pm and cruised over to Whidbey Island, traveled south, went across to Edmonds and then cruised back to Everett past scenic Mukilteo. It was so much fun and Lisa had never been out on the sound so it was a wonderful first experience for her. We had a simple potluck dinner of sub sandwiches, salad and desserts as we cruised along.

By the time we headed back to Everett, the sun was beginning to set and it was so pretty out. I'd do it again in a minute. We've always been a little unsure about cruising at night because of deadheads and other debris in the water but by going when we did, there was still plenty of light but the sun was setting just enough to enjoy the view.

I got pictures of everyone but we were scattered around the pilot house so we were a little mixed up! The first picture is Lisa Watkins and Al Grieci. Next we have the two Bob's - Bob with Bob Watkins, then Sharon Grieci and Lisa Watkins.
