Capt. Rick on JUNESSA
20 December 2009 | Wrangell Narrow, SE Alaska
Rick 32363
JULY 2009 Just left the Port of Petersburg, heading South along the Wrangell Narrows. A friend of mine took this shot and emailed it to me! thanks! :)
A quick update... I'm still working in the Southern Philippines and JUNESSA is still tied up in Gig Harbor with her Volvo motor in pieces. (Remember what BOAT stands for.... Break Out Another Thousand $$$$... I have to work to B-O-A-T for repairs,upgrades and restock the sailing kitty!)
My original plan was to be sitting at anchor in the Sea of Cortez right now sipping cold beer and fishing for dinner everyday, but as with any plan... it has to be very very flexible! (especially when it comes to cruising and boats!)
My new' flexible plan' is to get back to JUNESSA's engine room asap and finish the motor rebuild and do some sea trials in the Puget Sound/San Juan Islands area this Winter/Spring. Then wait for a weather window and make a hard Left Turn towards Hawaii or Mexico... or take the BIG STEP and point for the Marquises Islands of French Polynesia.
I'm finishing up my last YouTube video from my summer trip.... look for it here within the next couple days!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (Erica, thanks for the great photo!)
If you don't go NOW, you may NEVER go......
