at the Helm |

|
Ester was a newbie, but one of
the calmest crewmembers we've ever picked up. She's a Hungarian
doctor who worked with Dena's dad. |

at Night |

So James comes rowing up to the
boat at the marina - did we mention that he rowed to work? -
and says, "Dena, we've got to get pictures of this."
So we did. Amazing, eh? |

One of the first projects to be
completed opon making landfall in Blaine, Wa. was this hatch
that had been completely removed when we replaced the deck. |

On one of our weekly shake-down
cruises I got to hold that Jib out there so's we could show

| James
and Fritz |

|
I got both these guys at right
about the same time. James and I were devastated to realize
that this wonderful cat was not a good sailor. We left him with
a great human being, Teshan Laucirica, who gets head-butts to
this day. |

| Blaine at it's best! |

|
We thought when we first moored
up in Blaine that we must've showed up at some spectacular time
of year because this kind of thing was happening every day...
No, this really did happen every fucking day! |
