You should do a series of shorts of all the non-carving-related benefits of owning a knuckle boom truck i.e., solo rigging a sailboat. I need more excuses to buy one 🤣
Hi Jeff! Nathan here, I believe we stayed the night next to you in Buttonhook around Labor Day. I thought Raven might have been a restored older wood boat but you explained she's a fiberglass hull. We were on the Ranger 8.5 Orange Crush II. I relate to you in the sense I had never sailed a sailboat except for one afternoon at a camp called twinlow in Twin Lakes, ID when I was a kid. I also prefer to learn on my own/as I go. Anyways, Merry Christmas, happy new year and I hope to see you again on the water! Until then- Nathan.
Great adventures coming your way! Please share where your dream destination is and why! You are an inspiration of making dreams come true! So proud and can’t wait to see your adventures!
Loaded question Denise … I think SE Alaska /BC ranks pretty high as it is also home to many of the animals I love most and it offers scenery, subsistence for food gathering, culture and remote experiences
Thank you … I took all the exterior wood down to bare wood and it now has 8 coats of varnish… I intended to put on ten but I lost heart… so much work ! Thx for watching
Been there, DONE THAT !! 4 years with my 27' Clipper marine on Lake Pend Oreille, Then sold her bought 10.7 meter sloop THEN BLUE WATER !! From San Diego Ca. to Ft Myers Florida.. thru the P canal. ADVENTURES AFTER ADVENTURES !! Lived oh her for 8 years then sold her in Guatemala..
I slept since Oct. but we did notice a sailboat last week. There are not very many sailboats on the lake this time of year so when we saw one trolling between the islands from our house in Hope it caught our attention. There has to be some kind of freedom in a boat on a lake that size with no-one around.
Your video is awesome Jeff, like a professional. Yes, Pend Oreille is a French word meaning hanging ear, from a east coast French Canadian LOL. Take care!
Jeff that looks like a wonderful place to get back to center and get refreshed! Thanks for taking us along.

It was incredible and I can’t wait for more experiences like that …
