It has been a month since I have updated Alaskan Sea-Duction's blog. Lots going on, all at the same time. We have moved on to the boat, we gave back the rental house, sold the Sea Ray, getting new canvas on the boat and between all this e went on a 4 day cruise to Astoria. Yes Mom I am updating just for you because I love you so much and you can stop sending the dirty emails saying I am out of the will if I don't update! Well not quit, but I am my granddad's grandson, so I do exaggerate a little.
The cruise to Astoria was a lot of fun. Missed you Jeannie and Rusty! The weather was not the best but as they do in the PNW, we make the best of it. Going down to Astoria was interesting a there was a lot of wind. Kay and LJ spent time at the festival and as always she comes back with lots of wine and a nice boat decorations. David and Loraine joined us and we loved having them. Coming back to Longview we had almost every type of weather you could have, rain, wind, squalls, hail. Made it fun docking he boat at the dock with 30 mph winds at the stern, but Kay did a great job with the lines.
We have also taken pics of just hang'in at the dock. For those that don't know, Kay and I are living full time on the boat and loving every minute of it. The weather is improving and we are starting to wax the boat clean, plant flowers and lots of American Gold Finches! We are having the canvas replaced, so that with some hard elbow work should make the boat look nice, after all it is our home!We are looking forward to summer.
I just call this Kay's flower, as I have no idea what it is. I know it gets in my way when I sit down for dinner.

Getting windy with good waves. This boat really pushes the waves off, but I did get the bow wet
Astoria is a hard harbor to get into when the wind is blowing, so I chickened out and had Jerry go in first to scope things out.
