You had a great trip with fine companions. Thanks for the summary. Welcome home.

Larry - Great. So glad you enjoyed it.

We have had a good discussion of tsunamis and earthquake hazard for residents or cruisers in the San Juans. For those interested in the geology of the area, the following might be of interest: http://cruisingamerica-halcyondays.com/sanjuan.htm

The hazard cruising in the San Juans, or living in the islands, is not just an earthquake offshore to the west and a tsunami coming through the Strait -- There are faults zones that cross the islands that have generated earthquakes or tsunamis in the past. The Dept of Emergency info site below...

Thanks for the good responses. Information is available at FEMA on line. Shake Alert is another interesting site -- the hope is to alert folks via iPhone or similar at the first shock -- seismic waves travel at different speeds -- the most destructive (usually) are slower than the initial...

A follow up from the Seattle Times: http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-new ... read-this/

We have discussed this with Brats in the past. Here is a recent article on the subject. Do you know how to react if you receive a warning about a tsunami if you are on your boat or at the dock? What about a warning of seismic waves you receive at home, or work or shopping? Do your...

What a marvelous cruise - keep us posted We are on a virtual cruise with you, and you bring back so many wonderful memories. Bon Voyage!

Whoo wee - great idea at a marvelous place. Sure would be fun to be with you. El and Bill

Thanks for your post, Casey. Guess I'm the absent-minded professor -- yes, so many fond memories of that voyage north together. And now Wanderer continues voyaging. Block Island is a favorite of ours -- spent many summers at Weekapaug RI, and our family just returned from Narragansett -- you...

One of our favorite cruise lakes. Get there if you can and give yourselves some time to travel slowly and enjoy. Like Pat and Patti (and the Rana Verde crew) eleven years seems like yesterday. What a great lake to share with such great folk.

Wanderer accompanied Halcyon and Rana Verde on a cruise up the inside Passage years ago. She performed well, and glad to hear she's on the water with caring owners. Enjoy your fine boat. Cheers - El and Bill

Dotnmarty - Hooray. Good post and good start. Enjoy the life on the water. Patience and Prudence. Cheers - El and Bill

Oh, the great memories of shared times, Roger!

We are cruising northerly, also. Three weeks ago, camping in AZ wilderness, heart attack for Bill, medical evacuation to Flagstaff, triple bypass, now out of hospital and fly back on commercial plane tomorrow with nurse and oxygen. So we are cruising north with you, buddy, and enjoy reading...

We love following your cruise. Bon voyage!

Our. Dry best wishes to you. We shared some fine experiences. El and Bill

Welcome aboard -- you live near marvelous cruising waters, so have great times nearby. Your idea of trailering over to the NW coast and off to the north should be great enjoyment for you. Relax, putt along, and enjoy! Bon voyage - El and Bill

The Grand Slam, in our opinion, is one of the finest western US inland cruising trips possible. The scenery, the wildlife, the wilderness -- such grandeur! If you have the time, my what an experience -- with the comfort of pleasant companions and great guides -- should be on your bucket...

What fine advice. We're now off the water, but love to read tales shared for new boaters. This site is as good as the day it started -- and so are the C-Dories! isn't learning with a new boat great fun? Like being a little kid again surrounded by supporting buddies.
