Sounds like a wonderful (and uneventful) start to a beautiful summer!

Sure sonds like you are having a great time. Are you planning to spend the summer in the northwest? In Portland everyone says that summer doesn’t start until after the 4th of July, so don’t expect full sun and dry days until then.

Ahoy Crew – from the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes! Just posted on our blog, but it notes previous to our meeting up. Next blog is written and will have CUTTROAT noted often. Regarding washing the ground tackle – yes, we do have better access to the equipment than you. However, we don’t have that great a water pressure, but what we DO have is what Captain calls a suicide nozzle, that he has rigged on an old water sprayer. In spite of all that, we just spent a couple hours with the anchor and the chain in the drink while Capt cleaned out the chain locker and washed the chain in great detail. There are some truly sticky things that can make your chain locker – and the boat -smell like a very large water mammal died in the bilge of your boat.

Have a great time in BC! See ya soon.

Good to hear you are doing well and enjoying the scenery. I know it is beautiful and often times tranquil but also perilous on occasion, be safe. How far north are you going? Did some halibut fishing weekend before last in Prince William Sound, home for our boat, and picked up a 50 pounder. There are some great fishing spots along your voyage I am sure, and they are great eating. Drop a line at anchorage and see what happens. Herring, cod, squid, octopus or about any cut bait you catch will work. Caught a 225 pounder like that one time.

Good sailing and fair weather be with you.

Again, I am jealous but happy that you and your family are enjoying life. One day. How beautiful. The heat here is 101 today. We are in middle of bad heat wave. Beach on Sat was good as the gulf was cool for a change. I bet temperature is better in your neck of the woods. Enjoy. Leaving for Virgina Jul 1 for a week. Looking forward to just being with my family there. Have safe journies and fond memories:)
