My summer pastime has been ‘boat watching’. This unique hobby is easily done at my summer hangout… the Montlake Cut, where boats from Lake Union pass through to Lake Washington. Rarely a boring moment as every sort of boaty vehicle passes through…
Motorized surfboards (that ride above the water so fast they have to wear helmets)
Floating boat airplanes that glide through the cut while floating
Kayaks
Canoes
Giant yachts
Paddle wheelers
Small yachts
Sailboats (which get to have the Montlake Bridge open up for them)
And college beer boats - where summer sport is to toss the beer cans into the water for swimmers to retrieve.
