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.

Shatoosh and Pashmina Sold

Today marks a historic event. Mike and Donna June have become the new owners. They have recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from Michigan and have been avid sailors. Today, they took the helm and were last seen headed for Penrose State Park. Their granddaughters, Charlotte and Gabbie were on board and had picked their berths in the aft cabin, the galley was full of goodies, a crab pot was seen in the belly of Pashmina, Hira had left a library full of wonderful books to read and good tiding and blessings were had by all. They will take a few days to find their way to the Hood Canal where Shatoosh and Pashmina will be berthed at Pleasant Harbor.

I am so excited for them as they are well qualified to care for these classic boats. Let's welcome them to the Albin Family and perhaps we all can be reading a newer version of The Adventures of Shatoosh and Pashmina....stay tuned.
