The Adventures of Shatoosh and Pashmina

Shatoosh, an Albin 25 HN 1124, and Pashmina, a 9 foot Porta Bote have cruised over 8,500nm on 70 navigable waterways in the California Delta, the Columbia, Snake, Willamette Rivers and the Salish Sea of Washington and British Columbia. In 2011 they crossed the Columbia River bar to cruise the Washington coast and in 2012 they replicated Peter Puget's 1792 exploration of the southern waters of Puget Sound. In 2015 and 2016 the boats were sold. In 2018 Shatoosh was sold again and is in AZ.

My Fabulous Crew- Too Tall Tom

26 July 2008

He used to own an Albin, Skol and we were dock mates at Oxbow Marina on the Georgiana Slough. Boy, did we have lots of fun messing with our little boats. Too Tall Tom hauled Shatoosh from California for me on his trailer in 2003. He is one special guy. He had backups for everything. I couldn't decide to call him Too Tall Tom or Back-Up Billy.
