We have a hypothesis that goes like this; “If you place two sailboats in the same body of water, add some wind and stir, a sailboat race will break out.”

We are just closing the second chapter of our retirement journey. Chapter one was the tent camping trip to Illinois. Chapter two was six weeks in the San Juan Islands in our small “Pocket Cruiser” a 23 foot Aquarius Sailboat. Read More
With the help of our Son, Glen, we towed the Regal Jug to Anacortes and launched at Cap Sante.
Week of August 1 through 6 has been spent in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. We camped on the sail boat, and our Son, Glen and his family joined us in their tent on land nearby. We spent the week day sailing to local destinations like Friday Harbor, Roach Harbor and Sucia Island. Read More

In the San Juan Islands the mornings start out foggy, and the afternoons require repeated slatherings with SPF 30 or better yet SPF 45 sun screen and there is never so much as a breath of wind.
