What happened in Vegas...

Well, nothing all that exciting, actually.  My sister got married in a quite nice, quiet, lovely little ceremony at Lake Las Vegas which was not at all the stereotypical tacky Vegas wedding we might have feared, but rather a tasteful, enjoyable small service which might have been done in any small green grotto overlooking any pleasant little lake, but just happened to be near Las Vegas.

We're at the airport waiting for our flight home right now, after which we'll do some laundry, get packed up, and head for the boat.

As predicted, our colds largely disappeared just before we flew down, but after four days of dry desert air my cough and sore throat are back, so I'm looking forward to getting home.  The weather has been just perfect but I'm still going to enjoy getting back to a little more humidity, I think.

The plan right now is to finish up some business in Seattle tonight and head up to Hadlock in the morning.  There are three or four things I absolutely want to get done before venturing out onto the Strait (although the current forecast is for light winds the next several days) and we'll see how much time that takes on Tuesday... if we can catch a good tide at a reasonable time we may leave then, otherwise Wednesday morning.
