Really nice, Tim. Our camera battery died after we got into Canada and unfortunately it is a unique battery only sold in camera stores. So the only photos I managed were with my cell phone - but they weren't too bad.

Are you coming to the Seattle Boat Show?

I am coming up but on the 26th and staying overnight...

I am looking forward to Kingston..so I can repay you guys the egg.

Sent you a PM.

This must have been you at the Roche Harbor rendezvous last July?

We were there too with La Dolce Vita after trailering from Phoenix, one of the two A25's that showed up , the other being Transition from Canada.

We thought about going up there again this year, but after an invite from friends to spend a week in Rhode Island in June we're going to trailer back East, with a few days spent going down the Erie Canal on the way out, then cruise Block Island Sound, Connecticut River and Thames River by New London, then haul out and trailer down to the Jersey Shore, ICW, and Chesapeake Bay.

I'm and ex-trailer sailor, and 13 years ago I took my Montgomery 15 sailboat "Scamp" from Phoenix back to the Chesapeake for a Montgomery owner's rendezvous. Some of my photos from that trip are still up on this web page

We got up into the Gulf Islands after the Albin rendezvous last year, but only as far North as Ladysmith, with stops in Sidney, Maple Bay, Winter Cove, Ganges, Telegraph Harbour, Port Browning, Poet's Cove and Otter Bay.

Yep...that's us. This summer we plan to do mostly around the Columbia and Willamette rivers..have not stayed on them for enough years that it will be fun to revisit. Except, we are going to Kingston for the meet up and 10 days in the Puget Sound cruising grounds..with a few days tied up in Seattle.

Enjoy your trip...and be sure to check (not just pack) your bearings and tire dates...I lost an axle due to PO only packing in grease and not really checking it out
