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.

Merry Christmas 2013

Christmas emails and letters are coming in and I am hearing from new Albin boat owners, old Albin boat owners and non boat owners. Shatoosh, Pashmina and I had another good boating year logging in over 500 nm and totaling our adventures to over 8000nm. The highlight was having Joyce crew for me and our trip to the Gulf Islands, British Columbia.

Hira at the Olympia Capitol Christmas Tree and the
Foss Waterway Seaport.

I am wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Holiday Season.

Another Faceless Blog Reader

Bruce writes me a lovely email that he has been a FBR for a while. He was tickled by the musing of Too Tall Tom, Too Wide Tom and my comments about the movie, All Is Lost. In looking at the Stats section in Google, this posting seemed to be a favorite of everyone.

Bruce has an interesting blog of his own. Thank you Bruce for giving us the opportunity to read your blog and see your face. Take a look......
