Boats

A dream both Dennis and I had long before we met each other was to spend time on the sea. When we got out of debt, it was time to make that dream a reality.

In 1994, we traveled to Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Texas and Oregon with our Dodge pickup and trailer, visiting relatives and schools. In Oregon, we bought a 21' Bayliner Trophy and towed it to Prince Rupert in British Columbia in preparation for a trip up the Inside Passage in May. Although we'd originally planned to sell the boat when we got to Alaska, we were in love with it after three weeks in the Inside Passage. We still have it, and it has brought us some of the best memories of our lives.

The stories below are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent ones at the top of the list. If this is your first time here, you might want to click the last link. Links at the end of each story will guide you through the series in order. I'll add more stories to the top of the list as things happen. We hope to spend at least three weeks on the water in 2001.
