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 Gift Comes in the Mail

The other day a gift arrived in the mail from Anne and Laurence Yeadon- Jones, famous Canadian authors of the Dreamspeaker Cruising Guidebooks. In 2013 they published their new cruising guide on Puget Sound. I had met them on Hope Island and we begun a series of meetings around the Sound. They offered a special to many of their cruising friends to select their favorite cruising destination and to share reasons for their decision. My favorite destination was McMickin Island State Park. My special gift was a drawing of Shatoosh entering McMickin Island.

Thank you Laurence for taking the time to prepare a special drawing from the book. I miss seeing you, Anne, Dreamspeaker and Tink in the Sound.
