D & D Nagle aboard MV DavidEllis

We're here. Three months, more than 6000 miles and we're at the dock in Lake Union Seattle. We were met at the dock by friends, Marcia (DD Sedan nearing completion at Seahorse) and Martin (DD 462-01) who I spent three months in Hong Kong and PI with aboard his Mandarin back in 2005. Over the next days / weeks, I'll start posting stuff from the trip. We have a long list of tasks -- clean-up, deferred maintenance, some changes and modifications that will take some months to complete... Looking forward to catching up with family and friends.

Photo is inside Ballard Locks, fending off the wall from the side of DE; we started 20' lower than this position, before the lock filled.
