Well we are back on the dock in Poulsbo but the work is still ongoing. Our brilliant engineers Crystal & Keith are rennovating and updating our elevators, Roberto completing his beautiful woodwork and Dianna working on painting the house. Then Keith and I met Mike from Tri-County engine who had picked up our almost 19,000 pounds yes almost 10 tons of engine parts we had in storage. Never having opened the crates it was a wonderful present. Parts from 1945 on were oiled in cosmoline and wrapped with care. Some also were wrapped in old newspapers from the 40′and 50′s, older than me which is getting harder each year to say in many cases. It was only with great restraint that we kept Mike from diving into and hugging the parts. He as all of us have a reverence for these great old engines. They are the heart of any boat. Several of us are off to Astoria this weekend to the Fisherman Poets gathering. Poems, tales and songs of the sea for 2 days, a fun respite. Thank you Mike and Keith and the rest of the crew! Hope everyones day was as good as mine. – Kimber
