When Kim and I aren’t moving from one anchorage to another, I stay busy doing important stuff like maintaining the engine and fishing. I won’t do the math, but it has been an expensive hobby so far. I started with a rod and reel, a couple dozen big lures, a crab trap and a prawn (shrimp) pot. I’m down to the crab trap and about five lures…and I haven’t lost my rod and reel yet, either. Nor have I come home entirely empty handed, so perhaps I’m close to breaking even.
During our recent journeys, we’ve enjoyed some amazing sailing days and were blessed to have a traveling companion, Chris on Puget Escape, to capture some great Sundown moments for us.
When we’ve been able to go ashore and bushwhack around, we taken photos of lots of different plants, mushrooms and animals of the Pacific Northwest, and have seen signs of the First Nation People in the form of petroglyphs.
Life is good!
The Petroglyphs are cool. How were they made? Unlike carvings, they look frail.
And good on the fishing! Hope you can keep your tackle together.-M-
Here’s an explanation about how petroglyphs were made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroglyph They are awe inspiring!
You guys are my heros! Winning!
I mentioned you yesterday to Clay as he was leading us through a rainforest jungle. Bear Grylls was at it again!
You are truly adventurous souls! Moving to Fort Collins from the civilized mid-west is my adventure! I’m still learning and developing backpacking skills and wilderness hiking. And loving it!
You still haven’t taught me how you deal with fresh water, grey water, and black water, the untold mysteries of living “off the grid.” I’m still very curious about these practical topics.
One last – a request. If you can, please find the Native American (Inuit) translation of “Man Who Fishes with Rock.” I’ll explain later.
Explanation coming by way of email!
Kim I love your blog and it’s amazing to see what you and Clay are doing very exciting. Thanks for sharing your amazing story.
Keep watching! More to come.
