Sunny and 90 degrees, we arrived back at Portland Yacht Club in the afternoon. Our son, Ted's, family met us at the dock to help us unload kayaks, unused provisions, dirty laundry, and all sorts of other items headed home for storage off the boat. We are very grateful for the engine
mechanic's work in Ketchikan. Since Ketchikan we motored 224 hours with the new engine parts and mechanical adjustments. 1364 nautical miles traveled from Ketchikan to Portland. That's an average of 6 knots per hour. Our engine is doing great! Thank you to everyone along the
way who wished us well, and the prayers shared on our behalf.
