Alaska Trip 2009

We're on our way! After years of talking about this trip and months of planning for it,we left Everett April 1 ,destination: Alaska. The first week we have spent in the San Juan Islands just making sure every thing is going to work ok. We will go to Bellingham on the 14th to pull the boat out and paint the bottom and fix the stabilizers. Then we head north. Probably will spend several weeks in the Canadian Gulf Islands waiting for the weather to warm up a little more and the storms to settle down a little. This picture was taken at James Island State Park just a short ways from Anacortes. We spent several nights here. Our dog Maddie is taking to the boat life real well. She learned real fast how cold the water is when she ran off the beach. Every thing has worked fine so far. Hope everyone is well at home.

  1. Russ, I'm glad you got your blog going. Several people have come into the store asking whether you were posting anything or not. The last news I heard was that you were pulling the boat out on the 14th and then were headed north after that. As you know, the 14th is quickly approaching and I'd have no new news to tell them. Now, we can all keep tabs on your travels.

    April and I (and I'm sure countless others) are so excited and jealous for you and Pat. I'll shoot you a private email for the rest of the stories.

    Cheers!
