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.

Albin 25 Stockholm Maritime Museum.

Recently, I received an email from an Albin25 owner in Sweden and a friend had visited the Maritime Museum in Stockholm. He shares:
Hi Hira.

My good friend Stefan spent a couple of days in Stockholm and dropped by at the Maritime Museum. The Albin 25 is as years go by more and more considered to be The Classic family friendly motor boat and has earned a spot in the museum´s collection of Swedish boats. The pictures shows the exterior and interior of a 99% original Albin 25 – alongside with one of the Royal Swedish wooden-and-golden beauties.

Thought this might be something for your blog…

Thanks Bjorn for sharing. This is special to be able to see an older Albin 25, but to see how it is honored in Sweden.
