Argosy Cruise - Done (Check)

Me and B on the water today round about 1:15 no time to spare.  B's legs blow up en route but we slide in there with seconds left on the clock.  Serious pics with my Galaxy S5.  Not sure why I'm blogging like this but ya know we're pumped.  Saw no less than Bill Gates' humble abode on Lake Washington, CEO of Starbucks modest 17 bedroom spread near Mercer Island (I made up "17", but it's large), and of course the famous Sleepless in Seattle floating house!  It's a two hour cruise starts in Lake Union, goes through Portage Bay, and on into Lake Washington.  It was a rainy, blustery affair but me and B weathered it admirably, and with my new smart phone locked and loaded I snapped off a devastating assortment of high quality pics. Check it out!

The Sleepless in Seattle house is the cream colored number to the center left.  This is the west side of Lake Union and close to our apartment, which is up the hill in the background (and not in view).

This is the Bill Gates Mansion on Lake Washington.  I think the photo doesn't capture the entire house, which is to the right and left here as well.  The tour guide droned on about the number of computers and personalize this and that.  It's a big house.

Our apartment is somewhere on the hill.  I cannot tell you where, because B thinks the information might be used surreptitiously in some kind of creepy B-movie way.  Anyway this is the Westlake area in Seattle, or in other words the west side of Lake Union.

Here's the B.
