Almost Spring!


 My brother, sister-in-law, Jim and I were able to build seven new raised beds
 in our vegetable garden last week.

This lumber was ordered and delivered from Edensaw in Port Townsend on June 19, 2020.

Shortly after that Jim was in the hospital and then starting treatments. 
It's been quite the journey ever since. The immunotherapy treatments have changed
his cancer diagnosis from a death sentence to learning to live with it. 

We are now moved into our house (which isn't totally dialed yet) so we have a lot
of projects to keep us busy. I had my second covid vaccine on March 2nd and
Jim has his on March 12th so in a few weeks we will feel like we can be a little bit social again!
Our daughter and son-in-law are getting their first vaccines next week (they are both teachers) so
we are excited that we can see more of them and the grandchildren in the near future. Our visits with them have been outside and COLD.

We're sure missing all of our friends out there............

As things get back to a semblance of "normal" we would LOVE visitors!

Mexico Ferry Travel: Getting from Guaymas to Baja and Back

Since our car was in Puerto Escondido in Baja and we and Loomba-Loomba were in San Carlos on the mainland, we decided to make an adventure out of getting the car over to the mainland and do a Copper Canyon trip on the way back to Guaymas. This involved two different ferry trips, a bus, lots of driving, and a train. Ferry travel is not cheap or easy in Mexico.  We arrived at the 8PM ferry  (Guaymas – Santa Rosalia) on Saturday May 27 th at 6PM, as required.  There had been some pretty strong northerlies for a few days and the ferry isn’t very big so we asked if it was definitely going to sail. They said yes so our friend, Ray, who had given us a ride from San Carlos, left.  At 7:45 they decided the weather was too bad to go – next ferry would be Monday (maybe). We took a taxi back to the boat and decided to wait until Tuesday the 29 th . This time we had Ray ( who speaks fluent Spanish) call and make a reservation in a cabin for us for Tuesday. ...

North to Southeast Alaska

Our old friend, Roger, invited us to join him (as crew) on his first leg home from Sitka to Seattle. We did the first leg (and most scenic) from Sitka to Petersburg. He has been heading north on a boat from the Seattle area every summer since he was a little kid so he knows the area well. We flew into Sitka (arriving at 3PM), got a taxi to the harbor, jumped into the skiff, headed out to the boat, and we were on our way to Kalinin Bay on Kruzof Island for the night.  (Jim's hat says "Where's the Fish") The next morning we headed north and into the Pacific along the Khaz Peninsula, inside Klokachef Island, up around Khaz head and then various anchorages around Baranof Island, Admiralty Island and Kupreanof Island. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we did have some sunny days, mostly calm waters, lots of wildlife and good fishing and beautiful scenery:
