I agree with Jim, who said it better than I can. Hopefully a new door will be there to open...

I am delighted to hear JoLee is doing well and you two are heading north again! Your trip sounds wonderful :-) I spoke with a couple from the Seattle area who have gone that way to Sitka and the gal spoke highly of the area you are discussing. I am in Bar Harbor in Ketchikan. A fellow in 22'...

It was great seeing many of you Saturday afternoon while there with the Anacortes Coast Guard Auxiliary. I was delighted to finally meet Jay and Jolee, who have shared so many adventures and inspired us. In 2008 the 3rd weekend in May became "Friday Harbor with friends." Thanks to all who...

Great to hear that so many came, "iffy" weather and all, and that the rains held off for the grand concert and potluck yesterday! Did Ruth get all the corners of the cake again this year? It looks like lots of new folks came this year, which is super! Barry, once again your weather dance worked...

I have a new suggestion. I used to get so frustrated with the stuck windows, tried several lube-type suggestions and then thought the problem was gone because I got a different boat. (Not because of the windows) Alas, these slider windows stick also:-( My climber son noticed me struggling and...

Hi George and Carolyn, Interesting to hear about boating in the desert during winter, complete with very shallow water and sandstorms. Life here on San Diego Bay moves forward with earlier sunrises, quite cool nights and warm sunny days again now. Your potential plans to join Bill and El in...

Don, my thoughts are with you and your family. Dee's infectious smile and your love of each other are favorite memories of gatherings at Friday Harbor, including last year when I noticed Susan and Ruth laughing with Dee on the dock even in the face of her medical diagnosis. You both have been...

Congratulations to you both, and thanks for sharing your great news and photos! Best wishes for many wonderful years together and lots of desserts first!

What a beautiful boat, with great looking wood throughout!. I agree that that was a very long trip. Gus the dog and I are not up for such long trips either. We go on the inside but really do not like the Swinomish Channel due to the very very shallow areas and the slow speed. We much prefer...

Tony and Diane from Phoenix (C-View) just stopped by to introduce themselves here at Kona Kai. It was fun to meet them and even better to learn they have a sailboat at the other end of this dock! We compared notes a bit and learned we both like Lake Powell, no surprise. They came aboard...

Piggy backing on what George and Carolyn are experiencing... After 6 weeks, I cannot say enough about how wonderful it is living on the water here in San Diego. The weather is delightful, the waterfowl, the interesting little shops all around here on Shelter Island (and probably elsewhere)...

George, hopefully you two are out of the rain! The weather is clearing in the San Diego area, although along the water the temps will probably not quite make it to 70 degrees. There are interesting places to visit in this area if you and Caroline are interested and the weather here is...

Thank you for sharing this; I will happily pass it along to others.

Thanks for quietly getting into places and out again, and the gift of bringing us along.
