Rick, thanks for sharing: You nailed it...an unforgettable trip. Your son will be talking about this when he's 80. Nothing like a little rough seas to spawn memory. ;) Have a wonderful day! Mike

That looks awesome Sara!! Out west here, when the kids got out for spring break for a few days, we had a little sun and my son suggested an overnight camping adventure in the San Juan Islands. We loaded up our little 12 ft. Pelican class sailboat ...
