We have continued to keep a routine of exercising each day and mixing in boat projects as well. The hiking is fantastic with local hikes that overlook nice views of the water and hikes in the Cascade mountains. I really enjoy the abundant ferns and moss that covers everything. Snowy glaciers are cool too.
Of course, the boat projects continue. Erik installed the new masthead anchor light. We also cleaned out the yucky gunk from the water tanks and replaced all the water hose in the boat. We then installed a fancy under sink water filter so we now have safe drinking water out of the tap on the boat – no more having to fill multiple water jugs for drinking and cooking!
Of course, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try the local seafood. We rode our bikes to a cool seafood market and picked up shrimp and oysters to eat for dinner. Yum!

Hi there! Did you post a narrative along with the photos? I only see the pictures when I open the site and would also love to read what you have been up to. I think it may be hidden beneath the gorgeous food. Is it my device or are others getting the same?
Hope things are great. I check your blog daily as part of my morning routine to see if there’s new news of the Great Adventure!

Hi Pam – So sorry you are having troubles viewing. There are paragraphs of text between each block of photos. Erik and I are trying to figure out what is going on, as it seems to work for others. What browser are you using? That might help us figure out the problem.

Seeing Erik at the top of the mast makes me dizzy. How did he get up there and do the work?

He used sky hooks…Just kidding! We have a harness that he wears along with a chair that attaches to the halyards. One for hoisting and one for safety. I use the winch to pull him up.

Looks like the pictures display OK with associated text on a laptop running Chrome/Windows 10, but not on an iPad – pictures overlapping and much text not visible.
That new water hose looks *way* better than the old hose – guessing the old hose was a bit of an ongoing biology experiment from the looks of things 🙂

Thanks for figuring out the issue with the blog. We thought it might be some kind of weird browser issue. Yes, major biology experiment going on in the hoses and tanks. Glad to have it now clean!
