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.

Winter Blues Getting You Down or Do You Have AWS?

Is your baby snowed in? Are you waiting for the snow and ice to melt and fill the waterways again? Or, have you sold your Albin 25 and now have seller's regret? Do you walk the docks in search of your old love? Are you awakened at night with dreams of cruising your Albin to some deserted island? Do your hands shake and do you have uncontrollable night sweats?

If so, you could be suffering from Albin Withdrawal Symptoms(AWS)!

I understand this can be a serious condition and can affect the quality of your life. Well, modern medicine has come up with a cure for your symptoms and condition.

Take 2 of these and call me in the morning.
