[PCW] TomCat 24/Why we decided on the original TomCat

[Greg Schoenberg]

Whereas I'm just discovering Puget Sound.  My 30' Carver was chartered at
Friday Harbor for the summer which afforded us some opportunity for
exploration.  Now it's at Brownsville for the winter.  Last weekend, we
spent a night at Port Orchard, then Seattle at Bell Harbor.  Terrific time.

We were mystified about Port Orchard though.  Beautiful area and yet a seedy
downtown/waterfront, full of bars and "interesting" people.  Beer bottles
were everywhere the next morning.  We hear that a developer has purchased
some of it for the purpose of transforming (condos/shops) but some locals
are fighting it.

Hope they lose.
