Redondo Launch into the Puget Sound!!
After the successful Angle Lake outing it was another rare nice day in Wester WA, so after picking my 4 yo up from pr-school we took him down to Redondo (he loves the beach). I watched a guy launch, without the floating dock, and his son back the boat out of the launch and beached it just to the south. I saw this and thought, hey i can do this on a calm day.
The next day I woke up and looked out the son’s window (which has a great view of Poverty Bay). The Sound looked like glass!! I told the wife we were going to bot from Redondo to Dockton and let the kids play at the little park. We got all packed up and drove down to Redondo.
I prepped the boat in the parking area the backed into the Sound. I got on the boat and had the wife pull the boat and trailer into a parking spot (I had her go pay for a parking ticket while I prepped the boat). That was a little nerve racking as she had never towed anything before, but she did great. I backed the boat out of the launch and forward onto the beach. My wife came over and got on board. Then I used the new Dragonfly 7 Pro and navigated across the sound and into Quartermaster to Dockton. It was such a great and humbling feeling floating through the Puger, I felt so small in the grand scheme of things.
We pulled into Dockton and there was a Sailboat in one of the slot and a nice 32″ Liveaboard was parked on the front of the dock. I wasn’t comfortable pulling into a slip so I docked on the front side. It was on the left side of the boat and i came in a little “hot,”bounced of the dock with the bumpers but was able to recover and get set on the second time. We got off and let the kids play at the park for about 45 mins and had a little picnic. Man, it was so quiet and relaxing.
We took off from Dockton with the 4 yo steering the way (with assistance obviously :) ), As we came out of Quartermaster Harbor and started heading Northeast back toward Redondo I noticed something moving about 100 yds off the bow. I slowed down and turned starboard. I continued to watch the same area and told the wife about it, then we both saw two different dorsal fins come out of the water and went back under. Initially i thought it was some baby Orcas, after some research I know believe they were two Harbor Porpoises. With the help of the Dragonfly 7 Pro we made it back to Redondo.
I beached the boat and went and got the Tahoe and trailer while my wife stood on the beach holding the boat with a bow line. I got back in the boat while she got into the Tahoe and I got the boat onto the trailer with no problem, attached the bow/winch line and she pulled us out of the water. I got out of the boat and pulled us into the parking lot, secured the boat and home we went.
Once at home I flushed the motor and hosed it off. I was really surprised with the amount of salt stuck to the boat and the amount of seaweed and other plant life stuck to the trailer. I was in a hurry to get ready and leave for work (I work nights) but spent about 50 mins spraying all the plant life off the boat.
I’m so ready to head to Blake Island and do some camping!
This is a picture of Docton Harbor from the Dockton Park. What a beautiful and peaceful place to get away with the family for a few hours.

First Time Buying A Boat
Being from Colorado I have zero experience with boats. I do come from a wheeled vehicle maintenance back ground so I understand the concepts of the engine, besides that, no clue.
We live in Federal Way, WA about 5 minutes from the Redondo boat launch. This launches right into Poverty Bay in the Puget Sound. There is crabbing, shrimping fishing for everything from Halibut to 65+ lbs King Salmon. Live here without being able to utilize this resource seemed like a huge waste to me. I’ve been researching and learning as much as I can on crabbing and trolling for Salmon.
Initially I was thinking about just purchasing a 14″ Aluminum boat to complete these two tasks. The more and more I looked at the map and realized how many islands that were around and all the little parks and other things they contained that I have never been to, despite living in the South Sound for a total of 8 years now, I thought what a better way to explore the area with the family then on a boat.
That idea morphed a 14′ Aluminum boat into something I could use for crabbing/fishing and also accommodate the family (wife, 14 yo son, 4 yo son and 1 yo daughter).
I went to the nearest boat dealership, which just so happened to be Lake Union Sea Ray in Fife. I spoke to the “next salesmen up” and informed him of my lack of boating experience and what I was looking to do with a boat. the salesmen, Josh, showed me a few center console boats, which more than meet the needs for fishing but was lacking in the accommodating the family department. Next was deck boat, this could be used to fish/crabb and would be more comfortable for the family; however, this boat lacked a windshield. Being in the PNW where a hot day is 85* inland it is usually a few degrees cooler and breezier on the water, not to mention we only get a handful of those days a year anyhow. The third boat was a Bayliner 175 Bowrider. This boat had seating for 7 (plenty of room), had a windshield, bimini cover, and swim deck on the back. I really like the swim deck as it could be used to strap a few crab pots to without ever having to bring them into the passenger area. The windshield and bimini covers were all going to help make the rides/trips so much more comfortable for the family. I really liked this option.
A few days later I brought the wife to check out the boat and she was, lets just say, on board as well. After speaking to another salesman Bill, Josh had the day off. He suggested we take the boat for a demo on American Lake, and see if we really liked it before signing any paperwork.
Three days later we meet Josh back at the Fife dealership and followed him to American Lake. It was a typical Western Washington day, 55* and drizzle, not ideal to go out on a boat. Josh left the bow cover on and the walk through portion of the windshield closed. Those two things made a huge difference. The cold wind kicked right up and over us even at 25 mph on the lake, even after 45 minutes on the water we felt fine. Josh took the time to explain to me how to dock, then had me practice it a few times. Then it was time to load the boat onto the trailer, Josh backed it into the water and I maneuvered the boat onto the trailer no issue.
Despite the cold and rain we had enjoyed it so much that on the drive home I called and put a 10% deposit on the boat so no one else would buy it. I guess its worth mentioning this was the last new 2016 left in stock, it was listed right around $3,500 less than a 2017 model.
I waited a few more days to do the actual purchase due to a tent sale they had coming up. While waiting for the tent sale I had the bimini cover made and dropped off a Raymarine Dragonfly 7 Pro dropped off and installed.
Tuesday May 2, 2017 we went back to the dealership to pick the boat up. The bimini cover looked amazing and the fish finder was mounted perfect, despite the fact they had never installed this model on this style boat before.
I trailered the boat home, and honestly, that was what I was looking forward too almost as much as getting out on the boat, I love towing stuff lol. The boat and trailer pulled easy and didn’t wonder, this setup is light enough the ‘09 Tahoe couldn’t tell it was even back there.
All in all the whole boat buying experience was great. At no point in time did we feel pressured into purchasing something we didn’t want, or anything for that matter. The salesmen all made us feel very comfortable, the parts and service department are all very knowledgeable and get you what you need without up selling.
When its time to upgrade to a bigger boat in a few years we’ll go right back to Lake Union Sea Ray in Fife.

All hail the anti-hotel in Arkansas
Take shelter in an oddity.
Somewhere between the heyday of baby-pink mid-century tourist courts and 2019, hotels got dreadfully boring. Where did we go so wrong? And who can we blame? The rise of the interstate highway system, maybe, or the supersizing of the hospitality industry? The ways in which business class accommodations began to play to the beige-colored middle — to those just looking for some predictable, perfunctory respite while attending corporate conferences or training sessions? Mysteries of the milquetoast notwithstanding, here's to a handful of folks in Arkansas carrying the torch for the anti-hotel, offering up a night's sleep on a houseboat, in a treehouse or inside a living cave.
Beckham Creek Cave Parthenon (Newton County) beckhamcave.com
What a saintly feat of engineering — or maybe an intrepid feat of hubris — the Beckham Creek Cave is. The property, situated on a private, 260-acre resort in the Ozark Mountains near Parthenon, is so singular and bizarro it's garnered attention from The New York Times, CNBC and travel magazines of all ilk. Originally outfitted as a bomb shelter and transformed into a top-dollar, four-bedroom/four-bathroom luxury lodge, Beckham Creek Cave is an exercise in contrast. Distinctly anthropogenic stuff like right angles and stainless steel faucets and a wall-mounted LED television gets mashed up against flowstone and stalactites, and an indoor waterfall emerges from an underground spring, itself a source of the lodge's geothermal heating. For those willing and able to book the cave at $1,600/night ($1,200 during the off-season), patrician pastimes are abundant: There's a catch-and-release pond, horseback riding and even an onsite helipad so you can crash-hawk in there like Oprah.
Diamonds Old West Cabins 2097 State Highway 19, Murfreesboro diamondscabins.com
There's already a gold-rush sort of feeling baked into any trip to Pike County. Murfreesboro's Crater of Diamonds State Park has been luring tourists to its kimberlite pipe since 1906, and nowadays, visor-clad daytrippers saunter through the park's lobby carrying sifting screens, eager to turn the fruits of a 100-million-year-old volcanic vent into assets of the highest liquidity. Given all that, Diamonds Old West Cabins seem like the next logical conclusion. The roadside row of cabins is the perfect caricature of an Old West frontier town, giving you the feeling you've stepped a few yards off of state Highway 19 and straight into an episode of "Gunsmoke." Each cabin bears its moniker across its facade: Saloon, Livery, Miss Kitty's, Bank, Blacksmith, Sheriff's Office/Jail. Thematic commitment is devout, but not constraining: The property also boasts a pirate ship-themed playground, a horse-trot pedal car track, a giant community teepee for communal s'mores-making, oversized music chimes, a horseshoe toss, occasional foam parties ("Five feet of hypoallergenic suds!" "The Great Diamond Wash!") and a tiny building whose floor is covered in a foot or so of dry corn kernels, hailed on the Diamonds Old West website with feigned incredulity: "Corn Pit? Yes! A Corn Pit!"
Edwardian Inn 317 Biscoe St., Helena
Helena-West Helena's charms are many, but they are not lavish ones. The musty, storied storefronts on historic Cherry Street — the ones half-obscured by throngs of buskers and nomads hawking airbrushed crop tops during the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival — tell a story of the mercantile class. A few blocks away, at the Edwardian Inn, one can see how the other half lived, post-Reconstruction. Built in 1904 by cotton magnate William A. Short, the Edwardian Inn estate functioned as a boarding house, an alcohol rehabilitation center and a funeral home before being outfitted as a bed and breakfast in 1983. Two 1915 French Drop chandeliers greet guests in the lobby and cast a glow on the quarter-sawn oak paneling, an ornate oak staircase and stately wooden columns. The Helena Advertising & Promotion Commission notes that 36 different types of wood were used on the inn's first floor alone.
Hot Springs Treehouses Whittington Township, Hot Springs hotspringstreehouses.com
Along a forested ridge about five minutes outside of Hot Springs National Park, a trio of cabin rooftops poke their heads out of the fray of foliage. Inside are stately living rooms with high wooden rafters and outfitted with gas fireplaces and furnished with big comfy couches, all bathed in natural light. Each cabin has one bedroom with a luxurious king-sized bed; forest-facing decks have hot tubs. Oh, and for those averse to heights or unable to traverse treehouse stairsteps, the property also offers a creekside house — built in the 1950s and restored since, save for the vintage bathroom — with shiplap walls, a whirlpool tub, a private deck, three bedrooms and a full kitchen. Room rates, booked through the Airbnb platform, range $175-$185; not bad for private accommodations that promise spells in a hot tub under the moonlight. Travel is, after all, about perspective, and raising your eye level to the treeline of the Ouachita National Forest is a damn good start.
River Nights and City Lights North Little Rock airbnb.com/rooms/23859338
For roughly half of what you'd pay at a downtown Little Rock hotel to peer out your window at the mighty Arkansas River, you could let its waves rock you to sleep. A trio of quaint, tidy riverboats is up on Airbnb, each of which docks in the Rockwater Marina on the North Little Rock side of the river. A quick search of listings in the area will turn up "River Nights and City Lights," "Sleep on the Water Under Stars" and "Sundowner Bayliner" — all co-owned and managed by Ellen Sullivan. That first listing, on a boat Sullivan calls "Sundowner, Too," has an upper floor "porch" to catch the sunrise or sunset, depending on your own circadian whims. For cyclists and hikers, the Arkansas River Trail, the Argenta Arts District and the River Market district are minutes away.
All hail the anti-hotel in Arkansas
