Grumpy old retired wanna be sailor. Throwing money into the hole in the sea created by my boat...
Blankenboat back in the water! Moved from Anacortes through Squalicum harbor for a night then on to Sucia Island's Echo Harbor and a night hanging on a mooring ball. Then on up to Semiahmoo Marina... Home.

A few pictures on our mining claim up near Ketchum ID. We haven't found a lot of gold, but the serenity, scenery, and solitude are priceless.

A few Rando images from over the years. Sunset in the San Juan Islands hanging on a mooring ball. Moon over Hafnarfjordar Iceland, Sunset from summit of Mauna Kea Hawaii, a couple of boats rafted up in Inati Bay Lummi Island Washington.

My 2022 trip to Larnaca Cypess. Cats are revered in Cypress they are everywhere there is a couple of high class ones on a Mercedes. Church of St. Lazurus in Larnaca and the aquaduct that was used until the late 90's. Larnica is a wonderful place to visit, full of history!

After my brief encounter with alternate reality we live in now. I am going back to focusing on getting our boat off the hard and into the water... At least I have a modicum of control with that.I will be moving it to our slip in Semiahmoo Marina by mid May.
