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.

A New Blog for Albins

John Stokes in Georgia owns Ms Bettencourt, an Albin 25, HN 1117(Shatoosh is 1124). He has recently started a new project of fabricating a hardtop, similar to Shatoosh's. With my encouragement he has taken on the task of documenting it on his new blog. Let's stay tuned in and watch his progress.

John, thank you so much for starting up this blog, as it is important that we all share, so we can make upgrades to our Albin fleet.
