Border Run
This is a top pick! Theres something so fun about living right near a border, its great fun saying "Im off to another country for the weekend" and doing that. Even if its just because I forgot to hand my visa waiver form back in last time and so we had to do a border ...
LABOR DAY, OUR SUMMER ENDS
This is a top pick! Adam was so happy to be back in the United States, he ran. We were in an intimate college town in Washington state. The bars had just closed. And frat-boy Adam, as he did best, was drinking. He revealed to us that when he drinks, one of the ...
Border Crossing!
This is a top pick! ... (about a 2 hour trip from Vancouver, with added time on for Customs stop), very green and rainy. Apparently a popular sport in Bellingham is frisbee golf, which is just how it sounds. I couldnt get a round in though as it wouldnt stop raining. Next ...
Monday 18 August
This is a top pick! Monday 18th August We left after breakfast and drove up to Bellingham which is about 10 miles from the Canadian border. This was to be our last day in the states. As the weather was terrible we decided to go to a mall. We found a ...
Blown up over the US border
This is a top pick! ... cramped back seat. Destination: The U.S. I hadnīt really contemplated a dash over the border, but when offered a day trip to Bellingham for some reason I jumped at it. Possibly it was my lack of planning for Vancouver. Maybe I really did want to see ...
Cute little Bellingham!
... cafe that had some home made soup, and of course, being on the West coast still, unable to avoid having a coffee. Apparently, Bellingham has more coffee shops per square mile than any other place on the planet! My host is Bellingham, Emily, is ...
Insurance and survey
So now we are at the point where we need to have some fun on the boat. She is ready to sail around the islands and is seaworthy enough to float, sail and not sink (even in weather). Now for the bad news. Several systems are not hooked up yet. The ...
Delivery!!!
... They are a great livaboard. My first task was to get the water out and seal her up. I made makeshift widow and hatch covers out of old pieces of plywood and duct taped plastic over the windows where the tape wood stick in the wet rain of Bellingham ...
The Engine
... ;that she ran fine, but leaked oil like a sieve and after the expense he had into it was drawing the line. I got her up to Bellingham and into the garage and started to set her up for a bench run. We spent about three nights working on her before we were ...
Exhaust Elbow
After some bit of research I decided that I was not going to find an elbow at a reasonable price here in town. I've fabricated our elbow out of galvanized pipe and I've purchased new exhaust hose. We've put bottom paint on and the Cutlass is in. All of ...
The Sprit
I had already sanded off the sprit and drilled out some of the bolts that had broken off when we removed it. Last weekend Ashley and I took the sprit inside where it was warm and primed it for paint. We shall see how the primer holds up. It is supposed ...
Moving the Motor Mounts
Last weekend I drilled out and new holes for the motor mounts. The brackets on the new engine sit just wide enough that the old mount points will not work. In any case what started as a quick job turned into a real mess when I broke the tap off in the ...
A Weekend in the Bellingham Sun
... Iowa for four months during school it was great to be back. I took the Greyhound from Everett on Friday afternoon and arrived in Bellingham at about 3:30. The ride itself was fun and great for people watching. I sat next to a middle-aged guy with a ...
We leave Canada today . . .
We left Nanaimo this morning at 9:30 and arrived back in the US at 5:00 pm - bodies of water and Homeland Security adds of lot of time to travel. We waited about 2 hours for the ferry in Nanaimo, but we were able to finish our book on tape! The weather ...
Sprit cont., Windlass, Lifelines, Engine Coupling
Well, After painting, cutting the plastic base for the sprit and getting it all ready to bolt on I realized that the windlass bolts would not align in a way where we would be able to access them. So that held us of from getting the sprit on the boat ...
Over a year since an update...
... as bright as I have ever seen. It was amazing. The next morning we headed for home and cleared customs with a warning in Bellingham. Apparently they have changed the procedure and you now need more paperwork in advance to clear unless you go to Friday or ...
Topside paint
I found a deal on interlux brightside topside paint, so we decided to paint the topsides of Silver in Flag Blue. The first coat didn't work because we didn't think it enough and we ended up with large brush strokes, the second was fine, but the third ...
The Bottom
The bottom proved to be a very big job. We tried to get away with minimal sanding, but the more I got into it the more I felt we needed to do. I ground out the blisters and filled them with fairing filler and epoxy, and after months of after work sanding ...
The Launch
Well, We did it. The boat has been launched. It took a bit of work, but I did manage to get a survey and insurance so we would be able to put her in the marina. After working of a few more details we launched the boat. She did not leak. Amazingly. I ...
The Journey Begins
I am on the Amtrak train and just crossed the border into the USA! We arrive in Bellingham in a few minutes, and then we will explore and go to the mall and onwards to the airport. Plans may have to change a bit though now that I fully realise the ...
"The Magic is in the Hole"
... till our return. This left the car with more space for when we camp. We said our goodbye's and climbed into Shelby towards Bellingham, WA where i am now typing this with music by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros playing in the background; "Our ...
Time Flies
We now have cabinet faces ready for staining and finishing. Aluminum windows are pretty much complete, with one left and a bit more butyl rubber needed for another. The Espar heater is 90% installed, with only the last bit of wiring for the control box ...
All Stars
... defense, Bellvue Cadiliac was the main sponsor of the Tournament. And the lake was actually in Blain, the hotel is in Bellingham. Whatever. Today was Slalom, Trick and Night Jump. That's right, tonight is the first ever Collegiate Night Jump event... ...
Bellingham
... permission to re-enter into the states. It was from here that we made the 1hour journey to meet the Faloon family in Bellingham. Wow....what a house!! A comfy bed and proper food...what a pity we didnt come here earlier!! We set off early next morning ...
From the East to the Northwest
... have past since leaving Tokyo. Instead of an ark, I've settled into my little apartment on Abbott St. in beautiful (and cold) Bellingham. Everyday I am reminded of how much I want to go back, because I have Japanese classes at least once (thursday I have ...
Windows and first attempt at hatches
Now with temporary windows in place, and an engine, we needed to get the boat even dryer. The idea was that we could heat it and work through the winter if we had things cleaned up and dry. My first attempt at windows was to try to caulk in new acrylic ...
Paint and Nonskid
Well! With the cockpit finished we moved onto paint. Having learned a lot over the last two years I am surprised that i still make dumb decisions. It was getting cold at night and two coats of paint lost their sheen do to dew. In any case after four or ...
Upgrades throughout the summer
After our excursions out to Cypress (we took a few), and on through the summer We kept upgrading the boat. I bought davits for the dingy, replaced more windows and hatches, added a steareo and installed the new Garmin GPS, purchased a used watermaker for ...
Now that we are current...
... the time to wait. My boat is eventually going to be taken down the coast, and in the mean time will be at the dock here in Bellingham. I like the idea. We shall see how things work out in the end. I intend to have lots of time when I eventually go ...
