It was kind of sad. I had to call Shari at Tyee Marina and tell her that I would not likely be staying at Tyee past May 15.

On the one hand, I'm really excited. I've got a slip at Coyote Point again, and the plans are coming together to get the boat together and get her down the coast. However, my stay at Tyee has been one of the best experiences. I can not recommend the marina or Shari the harbormaster too much. Their worry and care for my boat and me has been fabulous. If you are looking for a marina in Tacoma, don't hesitate to go with Tyee.

To just give an example - I had ordered a new multi-band PCS cellular antenna from George at Boatfix and had it sent to Shari's attention at Tyee. Because I'm coming up after hours next week, she asked me if I wanted her to leave the package on the boat. How cool is that?
