crosses the border to Canadian waters and visits various ports of call. Having
picked up passengers in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Maranee takes
them north through the Gulf Islands, a chain on the southeast end of Vancouver
Island, British Columbia. Click on the chart to view images from these voyages.
 July
15-17,
2005 Maranee
again participates in the annual Chris-Craft Rendezvous in Port Orchard,
Washington. Maranee has been to every one of these events since they
began in 1989. Clear weather and a lot of Chris-Crafts made for a very enjoyable
weekend. Expect to see Maranee at Chris-Craft Rendezvous to come!

27-30,
2005 Sixty-five
years to the day that she was delivered in Lakeside, Ohio as Sunny Dee, Maranee
spends several days out of the water for a coat of bottom paint and a fresh coat
of topside paint. No surprises is always a good report when the boat comes out
of the water, and this time was not unlike any other. More to come in What's
New! Stay tuned!
 June
17-19,
2005 Maranee
joins what is reportedly the largest gathering of wooden cruisers in the world,
the Bell Street Pier Classic Rendezvous on Seattle's waterfront. A record number
of 46 pre-1959 wooden pleasure boats were part of the waterfront "Classic
Weekend" festival and what has become traditional sunny weather made for a
great weekend. Maranee can now look forward to some much deserved summer
cruising, including the annual Chris-Craft Rendezvous in July and several weeks
in the San Juan and Gulf Islands in August. A weekend here and there is not out
of the realm of possibility either!

hosts the Adams Family of Florida... No, we're not talking about Morticia and
Gomez, but rather descendants of Maranee's second owner, Virgil Waite.

from this charming family.

Maranee's
interior projects are coming to a close with the installation of new carpeting.
The carpet is an industrial grade, low-nap, wear-friendly (and not to mention
handsome) improvement to what was on Maranee's floors since 1990.
 January,
2005 Maranee's
helm is reassembled with a freshly plated instrument bezel and a replacement
water temperature gauge for the port engine. The original was replaced in the
1960s with a smaller, more modern temperature gauge and we took the opportunity
while the helm was disassembled to seek one out. Thanks to eBay, we achieved our
goal and then some. Check back in the coming months for the continuing saga of What's
New!
