About Us
- Captain Jim and the Blonde
- Now based in Arizona, coast to coast, United States
- We retired in 2006. Since then, we spent a few years traveling on our boat, Wild Blue. From the Florida Keys to Desolation Sound in Canada, San Francisco Bay to the Erie Canal and down the Hudson River to New York City... going where the weather suits our clothes. Now traveling by land in our Winnebago motorhome, and newly based out of Arizona. A while back, I published a book about our travel adventures with Molly the Boat Cat; Cat On A Leash is available in paperback and all eBook formats. Molly taught me a lot. After Molly, there was 9 great years with the sweetest cat ever, Izzy (Isabella); our little supermodel feline. Our hearts were broken when her time came, and we are now enjoying our big boy, Rufus - another shelter rescue, with a wonky ear, a great attitude, and so happy to have found "his people." Eight years of "fun summer jobs" has taken us to some great places to be in the summer. Now, appreciating being gainfully unemployed. And getting out on our bikes (a Honda CTX for me, a Yamaha Xmax for Joan). Still anxious to see what is over the horizon.

I was having trouble concentrating on my work chores today and your pics have pretty much pushed me over the edge. Decided to bag work and am headed for the sailboat - Thanks for sharing Jim :)
I gotta get our boat up there!!!! We're taking an Alaska cruise end of July....... Might have to speak to the boss about canceling our flights and drive up, pulling the boat of course...............
Spending the last half of Aug in the San Juans sounds wonderful to me.....
Ron
Hi Keith and Ron - thanks. Ron, there is an X slipped next to us; haven't met him yet, but he is a liveaboard. We are having a C-Dory gathering later this week, and I know one of the attendees will be on a 26x. Saw a few of them in Anacortes. August in the San Juans is lovely. (July 4th to Labor Day is generally considered the peak season.
What do you think of that dory in the last picture? I've got some pictures of it here somewhere. Glad it's not mine to maintain. :)
"Summer" is actually July 29 to about August 2...
Verboten - yep, I like the look of wood boats, but not the work.
Pat - I was told that the weather here is actually beautiful year 'round; all that talk of cold and precip is just to keep more people from moving here. ;-)
