Thank you! Yes, I really let the poor blog go. It is a lot of work and I just haven't had the time this past year. Maybe I'll eventually get it going again! Thanks for reaching out!
Thanks so much! Agreed on Kinney - fabulous designer! You really did some cruising around Big Island to get to Honomolino Bay - that area is so beautiful. Yes, it'd be great fun to make it back to the NW eventually! Stay in touch, fair winds cruising WA!
What a lovely boat! Really enjoyed your videos her - you've done an amazing amount of work to restore her. Thanks for sharing, hope to cross paths someday in the Gulf Islands!
Me too!! I hope it happens someday! I sent you an email to the yahoo address that seemed attached to your comment so that we can stay in touch - I hope you got it! Reading the others' comments, it sounds even more like we have the same sailing philosophy of doing things for ourselves, even down to canning our own meat, fish, and veggies! Yay! SO much FUN to meet likeminded sailors!! So glad this show happened!
I bet it's fun sailing a fast, close-to-the-water boat up there! We loved sailing CELESTE around there, just out for day-sails and also around the area - up to the Pribilofs, out to King Cove and Kodiak, etc. Andy and Daneen have a Hans Christian in the Unalaska small boat harbor, near the Unisea plant. They circumnavigated the same time we did, which is how we know them. Be fun to meet you when we get back up there in a year or two if you're still around!
I've sent you an email so we can stay in touch after the show here closes - it's been fantastic to meet you! I hope we can stay connected and maybe even cross tacks somewhere out there in the Pacific! The trip north to Hawaii was hard indeed! Close-hauled the whole way... we came within 80 miles of Caroline Island but didn't stop, wish we'd been able to. Certainly not the easiest passage we've ever done, that's for sure! We were also very late in the year, fully winter in the North Pacific, so that probably added to it. Would...
