So now, an easier way to see what's going on with The Point Adams!

Garibaldi

Two fantastic days in Garibaldi.  Thanks, Oly Olsen and all the great folks who greeted (and hosted) us with such enthusiasm.  We visited both the station and the marina, and over 70 people came to visit the boat! 

Photos to follow.  Here's one from an earlier Garibaldi visit (2013)

Next stop, Yaquina Bay station and Newport.

The next Coast Adventure begins!

...and they're off!

The MLB36391 departed Cape D this morning at 6:30am with 7 aboard: Cap'n Glen, mates Doug and Fred Bowers, Gordon, Bob and two Coasties from Cape D.

Astoria Regatta 2016

Gordon Huggins on the MLB36391

We were honored to be asked to participate
in the 2016 Astoria Regatta this past weekend.
We were joined by Kevin Clark and Gordon
Huggins on the MLB36391, and ran with the
Triumph and the 47208 from the Cape D
Lifeboat School.

Before the parade, we were joined by Bob and Frank__, who were on the Triumph during the Regatta.





Afterward, three visitors from the Mexican Navy Search and Rescue joined us for the return trip to Cape D.

Wrapping up the San Juans tour

Two incredible days in Friday Harbor.  Overall on this trip, we've talked with over 100 people about the boat and its history.  It's been very gratifying.  We visited all three major islands, and many smaller ones.  Lopez, Orcas, San Juan, Stuart, Sucia, Clark, Jones, James and more.  It's totally unpredictable how many people will come by to ask about the boat.  Some major ports we'll get just a handful, then have nearly 20 at a small state park dock.  It's a fabulous experience.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and expressed interest in the motor lifeboats and their history!

Another day in paradise

A beautiful day on Sucia Island.

We had a fabulous day yesterday visiting with folks (another 12 visitors) from West Sound to Rosario and Obstruction Pass.

A place for the boat this month

Hooray! 

The 36391 will get to hang out with Coasties this month!  

The Port Townsend folks have invited us to moor the boat near their station while we take a break and get back home for awhile.  Tomorrow, we'll head over and give them a tour of the boat.

Thanks to Sr Chief Bromwell for his generosity and special thanks to Kevin Clark for going to bat for us.

It's a relief to know it'll be in a safe place and that more folks will get to see it.
