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.

Oil Dipstick Transmission

The other day my handle to my oil dipstick broke off while screwing it back into the transmission. I carefully super-glued the handle on and waited for it to get a grip on itself. Then there was room for me to secure the handle neck with a pair of pliers. I paused, did Reiki on the connection and with a gentle turn she loosened so I could slowly unscrew it. In went the new dip stick. All is well.
