Shilshole Blog

I’ve been reading this blog for abit, but very rarely post.

We used to own a Catalina ‘27 on “I” dock. But we just recently sold that and bought a 1983 ‘38 Hans Christian. We are now on “K” dock, slip 7 and plan on moving aboard in the next month or two. We will be changing the name of the boat from Pelagian to Palarran. We are taking the chance and will be taking all the required precautions.

Anyway, just wanted to reaquaint myself and say hello. We’ll see you around the Marina.

CB and Tawn…..

P.S. I’m CB

While I was on vacation, Harry sent me the following update. Now that I got his first story post-Sydney, I figure it’s time to catch up on Rhiannon’s adventures. Thanks, Harry!

Happy New Year!

I’m still in beautiful Sydney Australia. I’m waiting for the weather to calm down up North before heading back up to the tropics. Australia had its first cyclone of the year last week. Continue Reading »

I don’t have an anemometer, but the wind last night – as Abyssina puts it – was truly “hair raising”.

Did anyone note what the windspeed peaked at?

Around D dock everything looks ok, and I hope all is well in other parts of Shilshole, too.
Anyway, I’m glad I’m not outside Grays Harbor right now.

This time for real…

So, if my calendar serves me right, the next meeting should be on February 14^th. What better way to spend Valentine’s day? I’ll be there, wearing a Live Slow, Sail Fast hat, for those of you who don’t know me.
