We had Drew and Kia over for dinner tonight. You remember them. We wrote about them in our blog early in January. They were the couple who own a Westsail 28 and who sailed a Clipper 26 from Ketchikan Alaska down to Seattle. Now they bought a Westsail 28 named ‘aleluia and they’re living onboard with their dog Creosote.
Also last January, I took Kia for a ride around the harbor with the sail up on our dinghy, and we got dunked in the water. (See the blogs from January 6 and 7)

A lot happened to Drew and Kia since January. Their engine died. They only had the boat less than a month and they only sailed as far as from Homestead Florida to Marathon. Still, the motor got water in the oil and it was ruined. Now they are both working jobs here in Marathon partially to make enough money to get a new engine and get out of here.
Drew and Kia also got married here in Marathon a few weeks ago. It’s nice to see young people who still care about thinks like that.
After leaving Marathon, Drew and Kia plan to sail up to Maine for the summer. They like that idea better than working the cannery in Ketchikan. From what I understand about canneries, I think they’re right.
Kia is checking out the pictures of our Clipper 26 sailboat on my laptop. They also owned a Clipper 26. Quite a conincidence.
