Last I heard he was sailing his new cat up the PNW coast. Anyone hear from him?


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.

Sorry you guys, I should have posted here more. We arrived in Scappoose (near Portland) Saturday afternoon. Was a beautiful trip most of the way, like inside of a washing machine once in a while. I did learn that my new boat is VERY seaworthy. Peak seas were 16' in 40 knot winds right on our nose(we motored under those conditions). But other parts of the trip were amazing - for example, from San Diego to Ventura was dead, flat calm, no swell. It was like motoring on a pool of molten plastic, the wake was almost hypnotic.

I am going to write some stuff up, pictures, etc, but don't have time now, and probably won't for several months. The boat is being refit right now fixing the issues we found over 1200 miles, and adding a few improvements. We have six weeks to finish that, then back down the river and up the coast to the strait, then over to Bellingham, WA, her new home.

Thanks for noticing I was gone.. ;-)

Kevin

Wow!!! Congrats on that. What a trip. I still can't believe anyone would bring a boat up the Pacific coast in January. You must really love that boat.

I do. It is the ONLY boat that, when offered for sale, could make me try to sell my C250, and until then, own two boats for a while. It is the only one of its kind currently on the west coast.

More later, when I catch up with my life...
