The Great American Eclipse
TO JULIA who asked over FB: "Where's Skipper??" This photo portrays him as just drying out in the cockpit after a swim in 69 degree water, being preoccupied with our latest shrimp catch. He's a busy Boy aboard Capella III!

Customary Crisis
The nostalgia is already beginning to set in. We're nestled into a rather 'suburban' setting here in Bennett Bay, a Local's Playground featuring kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding, general boating, beachcombing, hiking, golf and now, sailboat-anchoring (ours). We've obviously seen the last of our REMOTE [...]

COMOX, a City "DownUnder"
We sorely deserved this R&R in the lovely, manicured city of Comox just after coming off a taxing week in the Labyrinth of the 'Back Route.' It's our first landfall under the 50th Parallel (Latitude) in Capella III so we're pretending we're Explorers Extraordinaire since we made it 'down-under something'! [...]
Vic's Last Tribute to Capella III
21 August, 0830-1400, Pt. Roberts to Squalicum Marina:
"Motored. Set Up Go Pro camera for time lapse camera from 0930-1120 to capture solar eclipse at 1021. Got dimmer and cooler but not DARK...only 91% eclipse. Suitable time for a tribute to Capella III on her last voyage with us. She took care of us always. Our warm refuge on often a dark and stormy night when Mother Nature was having a tantrum. I'm sure she shared our delight (especially Skipper's) when porpoises escorted us on our bow with the sails filled 'full and by'. She laughed with us when the whales flew, the birds dived and the bears played on the beach. All we can say is THANK YOU. I think the natives have it right when they say all things have 'Spirit' and are part of a Grand Plan. Capella certainly seemed alive to us. We will miss her." vmm
Crew: Vic, Kathy and Skipper (the Boat Dog) Martin
