After our kayak excursion around Echo Bay, we took the dinghy in to shore to get a hike in. (That closest white dot there in the bay is us.) We've done this hike before, and written about it and posted tons of photos before, so I only took a few,…

New addition to Airship's crab cooking capabilities (to go with our new large stock pot): The PowerStove. The PowerStove folds up pretty small and has a nice sturdy bag to hold everything (and it all fits inside the large stock pot): The PowerStove comes highly recommended by other boaters…

Today's office view (starboard side): Port side: It was pretty choppy last night on our mooring buoy over at Hope Island (felt like we were under way all night!) It's remarkable how loud even teeny tiny waves can be slapping against the hull right next to your head. I dreamt…

This afternoon I took a little break from work and walked up to the Seattle Public Market for some fresh seafood and produce. City Fish Co. was calling my name (even though the guys closer to the main entrance who do all the yelling and fish-throwing are pretty entertaining): I…
