It has been quite a while since our last post but now we are back! We hope you had a wonderful long weekend and celebrated our beautiful country with your friends and family…how truly lucky and thankful we are.

As I mention being thankful, I am prompted to write of how happy I am to be in the excited phase of boat ownership, once again. This current phase of excitement is a little new for us, as we are now in the process of building our next boat from the plans up.

Her name is Independence II and is a 35’ Life Proof boat (www.lifeproofboat.com). If you followed the ‘Log’ in the past you may have noticed that we took a peak and test drive on one over a year ago (see ‘Log’ entry ‘Seattle, WA to Bremerton, WA’ May 14, 2024). Since then we have put our wallet where our mouth is and have been to the manufacturers twice to be part of the building process. There are many decisions to make at this point, most of them The Captains’. That being said, I feel a Captains Post coming your way soon. Until then, here are a couple of images to get you intersted.
