Gratitude

The Pearl (Jennifer)

Ahoy Friends, Family and fellow Seafarers, 

We hope each of you had a lovely Thanksgiving.  Captain and I spent our day on Kluane and had a lovely dinner at the Marina.  It was the start of a perfect weekend.

With Thanksgiving still fresh in my mind (I know, even with the Commercial Christmas craziness in the air), I am grateful for all the friendly, fun and kind people that have crossed my path!  Folks that are unfailing kind, friendly and willing to lend a hand or a their knowledge.  Cruising has an amazing community of people.  AMAZING.  So if you asked me why I love it, one of my answers would be the PEOPLE.  Mary, Brenda, Jan, Kathy, Eliane, Shelly, Susan, Sheryl, Marsha, Lucy, Sally, Marlene, Mark, Morgan, Dan, Scott, George, Drew, Chris, Leann, Jason, Robert, Lori, Jo, Matt, Tanya, Jay, Sam, Mike, Tom, Jon, Dennis, Kirm, Art, Yves, Bob, Lory and many others.  Thank You for the kind smile in the morning after a rough night on the boat, for the quick wit and banter that only a sailor can understand, for your care and concern and most importantly, your friendship.  Sailors Rock! 

Buccaneer and I have a new way to track our movements.  Click on this link and when we are moving, you will see "pings" from our location every 10 mins.   The password is SailingAdventure.  

Landlubbers, the best way to contact us while we are moving is kluanesails@gmail.com.  When we have internet, we will check in on email. Sailors, we can be reached on SSB, channel 16.  We look forward seeing you all very soon!

My newest little friend, Spencer has asked for more photos, so I will do my best to accommodate his wishes.  

Captain and I have been busy getting Kluane ready to cross to the Bahamas.  

Kluane is ready.  

We are ready.

Fair winds!

Happy Birthday Captain Bowling Party!  Look at Mary's form!

Friendly Trouble (& the cleanest Bowling Alley I have ever seen)

 Bowling shoes and capris, it's the new trend.  
Look closely, what is wrong with this photo? Hint, look at the ball.

Very happy guys!  Tom, Cliff & Dennis (the photo was staged).

Brenda tearing it up!
As the night progressed, our 7 balls grew to 9.
Interesting enough we all seemed to be using the same lucky ball.
