And I wouldn’t be surprised if we have some catching up to do. But I will get to that. For now, the basics. Dogbark arrived in Nome a little after midnight last Friday. And the fearless skipper that you are used to wasn’t aboard… Luckily Dogbark has had many other fearless skippers. And Leg 1 of our journey starts with an introduction to an old friend, Al Hughes. As you can tell, he is a rockstar. And he is the man responsible for getting Dogbark to Nome. He is also a co-owner these days, much to his chagrin! (Perhaps the grimace refers to the state of our batteries? Or the radar dome that we found a star fish in?) More to come. So much news, so many stories, so little time. Much, much more to come, my friends!
