    Yes. Mitkof Island. We'll be staying another winter :cool: But we have to get down to Port Townsend to finish the boat rebuild in the spring. After that, I think a year or three in the tropics is in order; subject to approval of the First Mate. :rolleyes:

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?
