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.

Update on SV Storm Bay

I met Chris and Margie several years ago as Storm Bay was crossing the Columbia River Bar and I was crossing from Ilwaco, Wa to Astoria. Storm Bay hails out of Hobart, Tasmania. We have stayed in touch over the years as they have cruised to Mexico, Galapagos Islands and Chile. Thursday, March 12, 2015 they rounded Cape Horn with good weather and calm seas, while the day before had 80 mph winds. Their next stop are the Falklands. Fair winds and blessings go to them.
