In an earlier time, when we were not still
puppies, but had no gray hair (or still had hair), we dreamed that when we reached "a certain age" we would abandon the sailboat life, buy a funky converted fishing boat, and cruise the Inside Passage. We would name the boat "Greywolf" for the area in the Olympics where we liked to hike.
But life rarely matches dreams. We were fortunate to reach "a certain age" and we did make two trips through the Inside Passage to Alaska in Shaman...one of three sailboats in Alaska without a full-cockpit enclosure.
As we age, our brains change, and it it difficult to make good decisions. We either sold or gave away our house on 1.6 acres and bought a 2002 40' Nordhavn powerboat which we now live aboard with Allie the enthusiastic (a.k.a. ill-behaved) poodle.
