Goes to show you

The left hand side of the glacier is what is in the article

Was sitting here at my desk this morning and reading the news and chanced upon this article.....I went through my photographs and found the chunk that calved as Mike and I and Hayly and Bob and Pat sat and stared at it for some time. Keeping a respectful distance appears to be a good thing!!

Profiles of who we are

"Shaman II" is a 48' 1973 fiberglass "Gulf Commander". Twin Caterpillar 3116. 500 gal Fuel (Gulp!) and 500 gal fresh water. We have owned her for 27 years and we are the second owner. We are a self sufficient cruising machine with all the trappings of home. Mike and I are retired now and every chance we get, we "Live the Dream". We have one fabulous son who is the proud owner of his own boat, "Eye Candy"....aptly named after his sweetie, Shannon! Three of the sweetest Grandchildren you could have....Mr. Keaton and Coco (Cohen aka the Pope), and baby Harrison (Bob).

Mike and I have spent our summers for the last 45 years scouring the coast to see all that we can see in every nook and cranny our boat will fit into. The earlier years were spent as any normal boating family would, bringing our son and friends to Desolation Sound for 2 weeks of swimming! These days, we spend most of our time mid coast. Three trips to Alaska under our belt and 25 plus years hanging out in the Central to North Coast.
