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.

New Email Address For Hira

Yesterday, my yahoo email was hacked into and my contact list (address book), was taken and used, sending out a bogus email to have people send them money, using my name. I am sorry that this has happened to everyone. Unfortunately, some people fell for the scam and tried to call the number, and reply to the email. The phone numbers did not work, and they spelled my last name wrong.

Let this be a lesson. Never reply to these scam artists and always check with the person, they are pretending to be. I would never in a million years, email someone asking for money. As a very astute friend of mine stated, "the email did not sound like Hira's inner voice", "it was not the voice I knew."

I have changed my email server and my new email address is:

hirareid@gmail.com
