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 New Twist of Ownership

I have exciting news to report. It has been in the making for several months, but Shatoosh, my previous boat has been sold again and the new buyers are two of my friends Joyce and Phyllis from Arizona. Joyce who has crewed on Shatoosh while I had her in the Sacramento Delta, the Columbia River, the Pacific coastal waters of Washington, Puget Sound and British Columbia will confidently take the helm of Shatoosh. Phyllis is new to boating and excited to be part of a slow boat to everywhere.They are returning her to the name of Shatoosh. They will trailer her up to British Columbia in April and will begin cruising the Salish Sea. Perhaps Joyce and Phyllis will begin a new blog. I'm really happy Shatoosh is back in our circle of friends and know she is champing at her dock lines to start cruising again. Its great to know someone you like who owns a boat.
