San Juan Islands,
Washington and British Columbia
Some years ago (1980) I quit my job with a major international company, sold my house,
and bought a 30' Coronado in Long Beach, California with a partner, John . We sailed
the boat during the spring summer and fall up the coast to Seattle, with Mary and another
friend. We thought we were heading for Alaska, but didn't realize how long it would take
to go upwind. The boat was named "Long Gone - Boulder, CO." Since Colorado is
landlocked and 1,200 miles from an ocean, that elicited more than a few questions as to
how we navigated the boat down the rivers to the sea.
