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.

Port Townsend- Another Day

Another small storm came thu last night.Wind, rain and morning fog so thick I could not see Marrowstone or Whidbey Island. After breakfast and listening to the weather report, we decide to stay put today. The marina says it is OK but we will have to change to another slip. We motor around to the new one and tie up stern to again. I call Port Ludlow and change my reservation to sunday. Then we walk into town, looking at the shops and have lunch, cruise the boat yard, and settle down for an easy afternoon. I'm looking at downloading some other charts, as I don't like the size of the northern puget sound that I have.
