Hello boys & girls; haven't blogged in awhile. We're still in school; one month to go. Dorothy is taking boat-driving classes, while I'm in 3 mechanical courses. End of this week we're up in Anacortes at Trawler Fest -- a 3-day meeting / symposium for trawler boat enthusiasts and wannabes. We attended several of these 7-8 years ago, helping to clarify what we wanted to do (for a boat). Dot and I will give a presentation on Saturday morning regards the voyage across the North Pacific last year -- hopefully won't put everyone to sleep.
