The Stiggs were not afloat in Sept, Oct.  We went home to see the kids, attend my nieces wedding and of course spend time with Julie.  I spent most of my time in Portland to help out and stay with my sis while Bruce went hunting.  We also got up to White Pass to see some friends and went on a walk around the lake.  Willy returned to the boat in Colombia and did some work on it while I returned in the beginning of November.
