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.

2 January 2011 Happy New Year

Well, I am still in the desert area of El Paso, Texas, where I did not see any water in the Rio Grande, as I crossed it the other day into New Mexico. I did get a boating photo of myself taken last September from Zac on the Viola Helen, a custom aluminum cruiser. This is the closest thing to boating or being on the water in a while.

I am taking the Portland Pudgey, for a test drive out of Walker Island Dock.
