Maxi 95 and Our Adventures
Rocky Point, NY, 26-DEC-2018 – We left Atlanta last Thursday for NY. We’ve feasted and hosted and visited. Now with time away from houses it’s time to think about the next sailing trip. RAN – Written that way, I think of a Kurosawa movie. This Ran is a Swedish boat we sailed near in BC … Continue reading “Thinking and Learning about the next trip”
Decatur, GA, 23-NOV-2018 – There is no joy working on these houses. We won’t get the first two done before we head north for Christmas. Jennifer won’t be going to Berlin. We might get one house done, the second underway, and the third, perhaps, contracted to completion before we return to Atlanta in January. Our, well, … Continue reading “Stuck in the ATL”
Icy Strait, North of Hoonah, 5-AUG-2018 — I lay in bed for a while this morning after the alarm went off at 4. I wasn’t tired, but I thought it might be darker than we wanted to leave. Sunrise is around 4:50 in the morning these days. It probably wasn’t, but I lay there anyway. … Continue reading “Leaving Glacier Bay”
We’re anchored in front of Reid Glacier this morning. The Inlet is large, much more than a mile long, which gives scale to things. A small dot in the distance is a 60-foot boat, which we learned was there on AIS. We’ll dinghy over to the glacier later this morning and walk around. Each morning … Continue reading “Cloudy Mornings, Glorious Afternoons”

On the advice of Megan, who works in the Glacier Bay Office, we … Continue reading “Glacier Bay”

Decatur, GA 14-JUL-2018 – Everyone, I’m sorry we’ve been out of touch. We went a few weeks with no internet, except for the Iridium, which does terrible internet. I did not write posts to be posted when we received internet and still haven’t set up the facility to post by email. I don’t feel like … Continue reading “Sorry to be out of touch.”
Feb 1, 2018, Port Townsend, WA – January was the longest month I remember in my entire life. Longer than months when I was a small child slogging through the school year waiting for summer vacation. It was a month of unexpected travel, traversing the country and working on non-boat projects. It was also a … Continue reading “An Unending Month”
Tomorrow, Gus from Olympic Boat Transport & Crane Service will come to take the mast down.
