Something like that; I'm learning how to be a boat electrician. Bought a
Hans Christian 38T cutter in October and have been living aboard in the Port
Townsend, Washington area since. After some refitting, practice sails, and
a road trip back to Interior Alaska for some river-running this summer, I
expect to head out the Strait of Juan de Fuca mid September and turn south,
likely ending up in the Golfo de California for next winter.

Thanks for the canoe offer, but a hike on Table Mountain two years ago seems
to have shot my knees; no more extended kneeling, me thinks. But if I'm in
your area I'll surely rattle your cage. Give my regards to Chris when you
see him again.
