[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Michael re Seattle

[Michael Kennedy]

Greetings from Seattle: We have had six weeks of almost constant rain.
Almost a record. They are measuring the snow in the mountains last month
in feet rather than inches.  That's the bad news. The good news
Is we don't have to shovel it here in Seattle!! Sure we have rain and
fog - but our summer is the best in the country. Both days of it. 
There are two Rhodes 22's on Lake Washington that I have found and I
know of one in the islands. 
Best sailing is sprinmg and fall. Summer is a little slow. 
The locks are not that much of a problem. There may be a wait in the
summer - but not too bad.  
MK

We went through the locks between Union Lake and Lake Washington on a
dinner cruise boat but we watched smaller boats and a few sailboats go
through.  It did not seem to be overly challenging.

We were there for a week and the weather was about fifty/fifty - a few
very nice days and a few damp and overcast days.  I was there back in
the early 70's for a few days in December.  I was pleasantly surprised
at how mind it was, snow yes, but this Florida boy did fine.

Michael, I'm considering a move to Seattle myself.  Here is a web site
that
will give you stats on weather and other interesting factoids:
http://www.city-data.com

The folks I know there say it's gray and rainy but usually mild during
the
winter months, and nice in the summer.  The data pretty much say the
same
thing.  Cost of living is supposedly 30% lower than where I am now
outside
NYC.  Real estate dollar seems to go farther.

The bigger question for the list is -- Puget Sound vs. Lake Washington
for
new home sailing grounds?  The trip through the canal/Lake Union/locks
from
Lake Washington to the Sound looks onerous on a map -- anybody ever done
it?  Relative merits of Lake vs. Sound?

Good luck in your search.
