Haro Strait on a beautiful September day
I’ve been working in Vancouver for the last several weeks. After several years off sailing, I’m enjoying working (in computers) again. While I expect the novelty may at some point wear off :), I’m enjoying it now.
Issuma is still docked in Victoria, which is 5-7 hours from Vancouver by bus/train/ferry. I plan to move her closer to Vancouver later this month.
Upcoming Presentations:
* Cruising the Coast of Brazil, Thursday Jan 17, 7:30PM, for the Tiddly Cove Yacht Club and the VancouverBoaters Meetup group.
* Cruising the Coast of Brazil, Thursday, Feb 7, 2PM, Vancouver Boat Show
* Sailing the Northwest Passage, Friday, Feb 8, 8PM, Vancouver Boat Show
Hi Richard,
Look forward to hear more updates on it. Best wishes and Happy New Year 2013!
How can you be so far away from Issuma?
Hi Richard.
Ruthie & Sylvia here getting ready to go out to eat to celebrate Sylvia’s 85th birthday. Come if you
can. We’d love to have you, but won’t wait long!
Congratulations on your new job, glad you’re happy, so are we. Love, Ruthie & Sylvia
Hi Gabriela, Happy New Year.
Yes, it is difficult being so far away from my boat :).
Richard
Hi Sylvia & Ruthie,
Happy Birthday! Sorry can’t make it for the party, but have a great time.
Richard
Richard,
Have you given any thought to scheduling a presentation in the Seattle area? The 2013 boat show perhaps. Found you website late last night after watching a National Geographic show about a family from the Falklands. I went looking for info on their boat and found your sight.
Sincerely,
Dave
Hey, Richard!
Great to hear you’re keeping busy and enjoying life on the land! Vancouver and Victoria are two places I’ve always planned on visiting someday. I’ve been thinking fondly of my days on Issuma.
All the best,
AM
Dave,
Thanks very much for the suggestion. I did talk briefly with the Seattle boat show about presenting there, but neither of us was all that interested :). I don’t have any business or other reasons bringing me to Seattle at the moment, so haven’t really given much thought to presenting there.
Richard
Hi AM,
Great to hear from you. Hope things are going well.
Let me know if you decide to visit this area.
Richard

It’s Thurs night 1/31/13and Ruthie and I gorged ourselves at Ruby Tuesdayl That’s no
way to lose weight! Its so great to hear from you and we enjoy looking at old blogs as much as new ones. We just printed out the picture of you and Andy, which is a super
picture of 2 great sailors. We even printed it on expensive photo paper!!! I’ve enjoyed
the page and a half spread of the Polar Bear Plunge at Lake Anna, Va. Do you that
up in AK? Ruthie can send you copies in the mail if you send your mailing address.
Yes, Richard, it’s Ruthie…send me pictures of you jumping in the water too! lol
Back to work… And you like it??? LOL Trust me, the novelty will wear off!
Hi George,
I’m sure you’re right, but its nice to enjoy it while the novelty lasts
