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.

Persistence Pays Off

11 Feb 2010: Thursday

Yesterday I decided to see what was available for search engines to find my long-lost friends from the Delta, Conrad and Juanita. I have been through this process many times before since 2007, when I lost track of them.

Bonanza, I was able to connect with a family member in California and leave my phone number. It is a miracle to find a relative and not be able to find the individuals I was looking for. This morning they called me and what a joyous reunion we had on the phone. They told me several days ago they felt I must be looking for them as they felt me in their presence. No kidding. Life continues to be full of miracles.

They live up in Snake River Country during the summer months. How convenient is this? We will definitely have to rendezvous sometime this summer. What wonderful timing and I am glad that I continued searching.
