1117 miles on the Ellie K in August. Thanks for your interest. Life is full and wonderful, Becky and I are moving into a new home, I am back to sea next week, just in time for the move. I am a blessed man. Thanks to God and all of you that I can call friends.

The Ellie K is running strong, still turning heads and evolving. It is a little different not living onboard and now living in Portland, but life is good and there are many chapters left for that boat.

Thanks to my Lover and First Mate Becky, for your planning and provisioning and for your attempt in learning your knots and for having the finders and first line always ready. I cherish You.

Thanks to my farmer friends Deb and Jim for giving us a wonderful week and the honor of showing us that you can relax in our presence.

Thanks to Cassie for being a wonderful Step Sister and Daughter and for bringing Ellie safely up to Echo Bay. It was a wonderful two weeks with you.

Thanks to my wonderful daughter Ellie for your humor and flexibility and for moving to the lower cabin every morning while I made coffee.
