Season 4 starts now! Each year Kathy and I make a blood pact that we’ll keep our blog up to date for our loyal readers and ultimately let them down. But it’s a new season of hope! Kathy and I arrived at Adventure yesterday and found that a romp of otters had made our cockpitContinue reading “It smells like SeaWorld!”

So Long, Farewell
Well, it’s our last day at Roche Harbor Marina. Today we do something we haven’t done in a long time – Move. Kathy and I will now try to remember how to operate the boat again. 😬 Thanks again Roche Harbor Marina for taking such good care of care of us!
