By now it’s probably become apparent that we’ve moved all our boat-related updates and travel to our other site, Slowboat, and since most of the travel we do during the summer is by boat, there hasn’t been much news here on Riveted. But we spent last week on business in…

We just finished a bit of a whirlwind business trip. We returned from Mexico on Friday night, spent the weekend at home, and then left on Monday morning again. This week’s travels took us to San Antonio, Austin, and Denver. Before we left Portland, we read that chef Steve McHugh…

From Hot Springs Cove we cruised over to Clayoquot Sound. There are many little inlets and anchorages to explore (as well as one of our favorite towns on Vancouver Island — Tofino. Our first stop was Bottleneck Bay, which as the name suggests, has a narrow entrance channel (we never…

Guess what? We’re going to be in the Airstream for a WHOLE WEEK this month! The last time we were Airstreaming it was October 2015! That’s nuts, isn’t it? (We really REALLY like boating.) Anyway, we realized that our cool internet setup was still up at the boat, so we decided to…
