What started out as planning a once-in-a-lifetime two week vacation to SE Alaska has turned into a full-bore adventure for us! I will be signing on as crew engineer with the M/V Catalyst for 12 weeks this spring, and Carie will be aboard for 5 of those weeks, leaving from Friday Harbor, WA on April 26th. We'll keep you posted!
