Good on ya, Kim.

8 Years. Seems like it was not all that long ago. I will again lift a glass to Spike this evening.

Also consider making a donation to Seattle Central College in Spike's honor.

Bob gave up on SCC a few years ago.

It still hurts the heart.

It still hurts the heart.

Hard even to think about.

I had moved FRANCIS to the dock yesterday (as WHITECAP is over at CSR getting solar panels installed.)

FRANCIS had been on the buoys all winter. After hauling up Spike’s Burgee I realized that I just had to clean her up. Not proper to have Spike’s Burgee displayed on a dirty boat.

Spent all afternoon, but Now she is looking quite elegant.

Checked in with Bob, he is hanging in there, tough day for him and Jill.

As they say, I'm a day late and a dollar short. But I'll haul the Spike Burgee up MAYAN's mainmast this afternoon.
