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.

The Adventures of Shatoosh and Pashmina Children Books

27 July 2008
Last year I decided that I would put all my favorite stories into two Children Books for my new grand niece, Georgia Dollarhide. Volume 1 focuses on The Delta and Volume 2 is on the Columbia River. I illustrated them in simple drawings, as I am not an artist. This whole project turned out really wonderful, however Georgia can't read yet, so I'll have to wait a while to get her feedback. This year another Dollarhide baby is in the cooker, so I will have to make him/her? a copy. I am in the process of scanning both volumes into my computer. Please let me know, if anyone desires a copy.
