Rose

When we showed Rose the forepeak of Wings, where she was to live, she wondered, "I'm supposed to live down there?" But she soon came to like it.

Yeah!

Some people don't like closed-in places, and Wings' forepeak is more like a cave than a bedroom, but Rose took to it instantly.

Her snug hideaway

She is a water child, she spent hours in the water whenever she could.

Crushed by a wave

The marina held a "Trash Boat Regatta" for toy boats made from Trash. Rose and I built this one and she entered. She got second place after 5 races.

Fred Arrives in Tacoma
My daughter and her family live in Tacoma and that is where I stopped first. On this trip Judy stayed back in Mexico. In one way this was easier: I could crash on couches when there were not spare bedrooms available.

Tom and Abe

When Tom's son Abe first visited us on Wings, in Seattle, in 1995, he was a rambunctous little kid and I threatened to stuff him into a locker, which made him cry. But he doesn't remember that. (Thankfully)

Jack and Dylan

Iron Ore

The boys found rocks which had iron in them which we proved by testing them with a magnet.

Fred & Tom

15 years ago I sent Tom and Kim a box of photos, which they've kept ever since. Me and Tom finally opened them. There were seven. I didn't know what to do with them, they were too big for the boat and Tom and Kim had no room for them. They kept one, Ken kept one, and Kathy took the rest.
