We started blogging in 2007 to document a year-long family sailing adventure. Upon returning to our home base in Portland, Oregon, in 2008, our adventures and blogging continued. Sri Lanka and Malta took center stage in 2018-2020. We were bicoastal (OR/PA) in 2020-2022, then back together in the Pacific NW until 2025, when MN was added to our location list.

Lincoln City
It was warmer on the Oregon Coast this weekend than it was in Portland. We were in Lincoln City for Pat's last Oregon Bar board of governors' meeting. Click here for photos, including some distant glimpses of a whale swimming just off shore.
Drew stayed behind to attend a memorial service for his youth sailing instructor, friend and fellow coach, Steve Williams, who passed away unexpectedly last week.

Halloween
It's the last regatta of the Fall sailing season. Click here for a few photos of the sailors (some in costume) getting ready to start their races, and here for a few more once sailing was underway. There are also a couple of photos from last night's trick-or-treating adventures, and one of "The Drews" headed off to the Willamette Sailing Club's Annual Awards Dinner.
