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>Hobbit Has Another New Owner

In November 2016, Shatoosh my old Albin 25, HN 1124 renamed Hobbit by Mike June was sold again to Mike Cady who lives along the Sacramento River in California. These photos show some of the extensive work Mike June had done on Shatoosh and the new owner Mike Cady launching her on the Sacramento River. Hobbit will be berthed at Courtland on the river. May the new owners have a wonderful time with my beloved Shatoosh/Hobbit/?. It is interesting after all those years and miles miles that she is back in California and in the Delta Region. She was originally shipped fro Sweden to San Francisco Bay.

Shatoosh Gets a New Name

Hobbit is her name. "We named her Hobbit because she is small, faithful and will take us on epic adventures". Mike and Donna June have been hard at work doing a re-do of Shatoosh. I'm just now getting some pictures. Their long awaited launch is upcoming and I'm hoping to get to see her at some point. I'm so excited for them and Hobbit. They hail out of Hood Canal so keep an eye out for her and introduce yourselves to them.
