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.

Pashmina: A New Beginning

12 October 2011 Wednesday

Today marks the new beginnings. Pashmina 2 goes to Shatoosh and Pashmina, my faithful Zodiac comes home with me to be transferred to her new owner this weekend. After a summer of garage heat, a few additions of boat hardware, Pashmina 2 is ready to be transported to Shatoosh. Linda, my friend with a van arrives, and we load P2 up in it. Boy, not an inch to spare.
