We’re back in Washington! After a 5,000 mile round trip, we are happy to be stationary, at least for a couple of months! We are currently in Birch Bay, in a lovely rental house just off from the water. It is very quiet and peaceful here (and cold!) – a great place to relax and listen to the waves. We brought our kayak back from Om Shanti and I have been enjoying beautiful morning paddles on the bay. This time of year the bald eagles are out in full force, giving us endless amounts of entertainment.
We are getting ready to hit the road again, although this time we will let the airlines handle the traveling. We will be in Oakland, California, April 16th to the 20th for the Strictly Sail boat show, where we will be at the author’s booth and Waypoint bookstore’s booth. We are really looking forward to the show, as it is always fun talking with boaters and sharing stories and dreams of cruising.
We will be in the Bellingham area through May while Shawn is helping with graphics work at a local marine electronics company named Blue Seas Systems. After Shawn finishes, we will most likely head east of the mountains to Goose Prairie, near Mt Rainier, to spend some time with family at my grandfather’s cabin. From there, we hope to visit Shawn’s brother and sister-in-law (Christian and Poki) in London, England where they are currently staying. We hope everyone is enjoying beautiful springtime weather, and please drop us a line to let us know what you are up to!

Hi Heather & Shawn,
I spoke with you at the Fisheries Supply swap meet - it was great to have met you! Eight friends and I have started a group of DIY cruisers who are planning to sail down to the Sea of Cortez and your book is the official text of "The Escape Club."
As soon as my friends Nanette and Brian set up "Nobio Basecamp" for cruisers in San Carlos, you two will have to come visit!
Shawn, found your site and figured I would say hello. Looks like you are doing well. Lost track of you guys after high school. I figured you were still trying to perfect the McD's union hand shake. :) :) :)
Best of luck, tell you bro Hello for me. Mike L - KY
