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.

A New Boat for Hira

Last fall I moved back to Lakewood Washington to my old hang out on Lake Louise. I've lived there numerous times in my life and this quite little lake is a fun place to live and go fishing. This spring I found the perfect little fishing boat for me. It is a Viking Waylander, flat bottom 8 feet length and 4 feet beam. Not much to look at, Army green and easy to row. My first trip out I caught a beauty of a trout. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you they stock the lake. Life is good.
