A reader is calling it 60 days. Really, 59 days and 13 hours and 15 minutes. Rounding up seems legit enough for me. Taha Uku Bay to Port Angeles? Maybe the longest Flicka passage ever? Here’s a Google Earth rendition of the trip created by a fellow Flicka 20 fan (and record keeper?).

It was a little difficult to tell from my angle,… Read More

Nicer than we need, but under the circumstances, the only place we could get a reservation. I was in Bahia De Los Muertos trying to solve my solar… Read More
