Captain Rick

Now that Captain Rick has headed to Seattle (and on to Sita and Baranof, AK), Karen and I are sailing Polar Mist through the Gulf and San Juan Islands on our own - Yikes!!
Polar Mist gets to be a very big boat without the able assistance of Captain Rick. Who will fix the broken parts? Who will jump down on the dock and secure Polar Mist when we arrive at Port? Who will remind me that we're entering fast waters and my bow will be swept to Port? Who will tell us how to anchor downwind in close quarters? And finally, most important of all, who will greet us each morning with a smile (see picture) and a happy "Good Morning John and Karen", have you seen the bears, the wolf or the eagle outside our window?
Thanks Rick, enjoy your summer and you will be missed!!
