Gary Baldwin is the captain of the
Marushka, a Wm. Garden 55ft ketch just astern of us in Blaine,
Wa. He and his family live on and love the Marushka. Good sailors,
good friends, good people! |

Blaine was a good Neighborhood and
a great place for a photographer as well. |

| James'
morning row |
|
For the eight months that we called
Blaine our home I rowed to work the 250 yards from the Blaine
public marina's F-Dock to the Inn at Semiahmoo where I worked
as the Inn's woodworker. I got to see this kind of thing every
day! |

| Sojourner
Earth |
 |
Although destroyed in our voyage
from Eureka to San Francisco, our 1924 dory Sojourner Earth
was a truly beautiful part of our lives. We rowed it to work
every morning in Eagle Harbor and James got to do the same but
solo every day in Blaine. |

Although a bit too far from the
water for my tastes Mt. Baker is indeed Fucking Scenic. |

work, work! |

Every time the sun came out on a
day that we were not working*, (rare, very rare!) we would pack
our days with foredeck duties. |

*Working or rather, wage slaving, meaning simply for me it was working
all day (8 hours or 1/3rd) for the Trillium corp. A company who's billions
were partially made by raping the Honduran rain forest of Mahogany** and
stripping nearly every tree from Tierra del Fuego. For Dena it was working
for the Grubb family newspapers (ok, and me too but only part time) doing
the "total bummer" job of Ad-Sales. For the most part, we both
agree it wasn't so bad mainly because of all the great aforementioned
people we got to know and love and hang out with above 48* north.
**The cheapest Mahogany in the world! It is what most of the repairs
on Sovereign Nation were done with.
We are all bound to our own awareness.. Right?
