Here are some items of interest to folks boating in the Puget Sound area:

I should have added:

Cruise Ships arrive and depart Thursday through Sunday. They usually get in between 0600 and 0700 and depart between 1700 and 1800. Two use the new terminal at Pier 91 and one uses the terminal adjacent to Bell Harbor Marina.
