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!
Wow, so exciting!!! Your biggest fan/school bus driver is on the edge of his seat waiting to read the stories!!
So fun to hear from you, Sean! Did you know that I became a bus driver, too, here on BI? That’s my excuse for not being on the NW Passage attempt this time around–I’ll likely be back to work before Dogbark gets across. Plus, I take Talia off to college end of Aug and Savai starts her junior year. Hope you and yours are well! We miss your beignets!
P.S. We’ll get the tracker up and running again soon!
