We're back in Seattle for a week - Leg 1 is complete.  We had a wonderful time - truly a lifetime experience.  The crew was great - Michelle, Mike, and Ellen (my mom) were superb shipmates.  Got to watches early, didn't complain, totally reliable.  At sea, you literally trust your life to the person on watch.  I'd trust these three anytime.

Current plans are that I will return to Rhapsody on May 23rd for preparation for Leg 2 of our Pacific Coast Tour - San Francisco to Monterey.  This short little leg is about 12 hours long and will then give me almost two weeks in Monterey.  Scheduled departure date is Monday May 25.

I've posted some "Leg 1 - Seattle to San Francisco" photos in the Gallery .  There are a few more to post when I get the data.

Unless I come up with something profound to say, or unless someone asks a question on the BLOG, I won't be making any more entries until next Saturday, May 23rd.

Thanks for keeping up with us!

More to come, next week . . .
