Recap: After working in Alaska in the summer of 2020, we returned to Washington for some fall cruising aboard Limerick. In November 2020, we hauled the boat and drove south to San Diego. In April 2021, we headed further south into Baja with the minivan. While in Cabo, Mike had an accident on his bicycle and ended up in the hospital needing surgery on his face. After two months of recovery, we worked on a three-month NOAA charting project on Lake Michigan. In September 2021, we headed back to Denver for more surgery and then to Washington in October, where we rented a sweet little house overlooking the water while working on a few projects on Limerick. In March 2022, we worked on the rivers around New York City and spent a few days visiting New England. In April, we cruised the San Juan Islands aboard Limerick and then spent May and June working on the Bering Sea in Alaska. After cruising Desolation Sound in British Columbia and the San Juan Islands for the rest of the summer, we sold Limerick at the end of October 2022, after seven years of ownership. In November, we drove the minivan from Washington to Colorado and on to San Diego in December. In January 2023, we drove back to Washington for a total of 7,000 miles. February through May we were charting the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay with a one-week break in Puerto Rico. We spent July exploring Roatan, Honduras, before heading to Nome, Alaska for more charting work. In September 2023, we headed back to Washington for some pet/housesits. In October 2023, we drove to San Diego and stayed on a friend’s citrus farm to spend the holidays with family and friends.

DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE
In January 2024, we returned to Washington for more house sits, with a week-long break on Vancouver Island, BC. We flew to the Big Island of Hawai’i for V’s birthday in April and another house sit. At the end of May, we returned to Washington, where we spent the summer with friends on Lopez Island and did a couple more house sits. We flew to Spain in mid-November to deliver our friends’ boat to the eastern Mediterranean. We have cruised from Spain to France and are currently in Italy.
