Brad's boat, MV Klondike Express is an Australian designed catamaran, holding 350 people. It was built by Nichols Boats on Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle.
Note that many of the photographs here are blurred; that's just a consequence of taking long exposure pictures from a rocking boat, and short of having an expensive motion compensator (used for handheld cameras in movies or TV) there's not much that can be done about it. And, since the boat can travel at 50 mph (80 km/h), there are times when just the forward motion is sufficient to greatly blur an image. You should see some of the ones I left out!

Another view, no flash this time, and showing more of the other guests.
Later on the Karaoke session started; this is some of the audience, variously watching or ignoring the whole event.
The old Seattle Steam Plant, which has a number of chimneys, no longer in use, but retained when the building was converted into a bio-tech company. And so with lights strung up to the chimney tops, it looks a little like a ship. The horizontal zig-zag line along roughly the centre of the image is traffic on Interstate 5.
Downtown Seattle and the Space Needle, as seen from Lake Union. And a couple of the younger members of the tour.
Really blurred, but it shows two things of interest. On top of Queen Anne Hill are three of the TV transmitting towers in Seattle. The one on the left is "decorated" for Christmas, with lights up the legs. And the cloured blur in the bottom left is a highly illuminated pleasure boat which followed us for a while.
Bill Gates' mansion. I don't know exactly where his property/home ends, but I think it occupies most of the width of the picture. The red blurs near the water are a couple of Christmas Trees, just the branches, and illuminated in red. They were quite stricking.
