AIS is a maritime navigation safety communications system that provides vessel information, including the vessel's identity, type, size, position, course, speed, navigational status and other safety-related information automatically to appropriately equipped shore stations, other ships, and aircraft. Our friends and family will now be able to track us via computer.

| AIS can read signals from a vessel anywhere within range. Even when they are hidden behind a land mass. Radar can only see unobstructed objects. |
We left the boat so that the carpets could get cleaned and went over to the Swinomish Casino. We usually fill-up on fuel there because it is cheaper than in town. I usually take a $20 bill and try my luck at the slot machines. I got lucky on the second slot machine but I was surprised to see how lucky. I started on a penny machine but the second one a nickel machine. I am playing away and I won a couple jackpots. I played a little more when it looked like I was down to $40 I went to cash out. Well, the lady says "would you like large bills"? Huh?? I forgot I was on a nickel machine and walked away with $202.00!! That is a big win in my book. Fred was pleased to announce that he played a $1 machine for $10 and had a return of $18. Until of course I showed him my winnings...
The carpets look great and almost all of the electrical work is done. The boat has been fueled, the hull waxed and a new bottom paint around the edges.
It is Fred's turn to pick a place for dinner so we went to Bob's Chowder House. http://www.bobschowderbar.com/ Everything here is delicious but Fred loves the clam chowder in a bread bowl.
