Fellow TFers,
I have just arrived home after bringing my new-to-me Krogen 54 from Ketchikan, AK to the San Francisco Bay Area. I flew out three weeks ago with Jeff, my first mate and spent the first week doing a shakedown cruise and some maintenance. Exactly two weeks ago today we left Ketchikan. Last Tuesday we arrived in Anacortes, WA, dropped off all the crew except my first mate, and then headed out down the coast. We only stopped last night in Drakes Bay, Point Reyes, CA and came under the Golden Gate Bridge at around noon today. Stillwater is now safely in her new slip at Westpoint Harbor in Redwood City, CA.
That's the short version. I'm too tired to write any more tonight. I will do a more thorough write up later in the week when I get my head back in landlubber mode. Suffice to say it was an adventure packed with amazing experiences.
Here's a teaser picture of Stillwater tucked into Rushbrooke Harbor in Prince Rupert, BC, Canada.
Once I'm finished with my cigar and cognac, I'm off to bed - those three hour watches take it out of you!
