Spent some time all over Vancouver...Delta,Surrey,Burnaby,etc. I've heard of Corvette Specialties,but havent done business as yet. I think the lake you mean is Lake Samish? Strange,I've done loads of snow skiing all over Washington,& even a couple times at Whistler, B.C.,Canada, but never have water skiid!

If I could,I'd make plans right now,but I'm in a pretty F'd up situation these days.I had to stop working to care for my mother with Alzheimers/Dementia.Its too the point where she has trouble doing minor everyday things now,Saddest part is she no longer knows I'm her son.Found out about the moral fortitude of my relatives,in the process.No contact at all from extended family,& if I beg I might get my sister to come by once a month,& shes only 30 minutes away!Cant leave unless I pay someone to come in,if its over an hour. I'm pretty much isolated. Nice,eh?  ;K  for whining to you guys,I'll stop now!;16

A Corvette would have to be the ideal car for the Pacific Northwest - fiberglass doesn't rust!

One city that is known for rain is Seattle, Washington. Rain is common in the winter, but mostly the climate is cloudy with little rain. Seattle's average rainfall is 942 mm (37.1 in) per year,[7] less than New York City's 1173 mm (46.2 in),[8] but Seattle has 201 cloudy days per year, compared to 152 in New York. Seattle's neighbor to the south, Portland, Oregon, gets more rain with an average of 1143 mm (45 in) a year. [9] However, it should be noted that Seattle lies in the rain shadow of the nearby Olympic Mountains, with some locations on the windward sides of the mountains receiving close to 3300 mm (about 130 in) per year.[10] The wettest city in the 48 contiguous United States is Mobile, Alabama, which average 1702 mm (67 in) of rainfall per year.[11] Ketchikan and other locations in the temperate rainforest of southeast Alaska get an average of 4064 mm (160 in) of rain a year,[12] sometimes receiving over 5000 mm (about 200 inches) in a year.
