The beach was just a bit slanted towards the river’s bend.

Many of the beaches in the San Juan Islands have a hard side. Perfect for SeaRey rock climbing!

Cruising for miles over calm water is so easy it’s dreamlike but so beautiful you just can't fall asleep.

Hey, now, there's the best photo of the whole trip! Great shot of the two of you--looking tired but very pleased, with the setting sun behind and good reflected light on your faces.

Dan, what a magnificent journey. One sentence, "Let's fly the Reys to Washington State!" and the adventure began. You gave me some grand training in the airplane, showed me what she could do, daring Puff and me to follow Jennifer into rivers and swamps and reeds and air-boat trails and little bits of ponds I couldn't believe you were going into (easy for Puff, though I didn't know it at the time). Then the weeks of flying, with SeaRey maintenance and geology lessons along the way -- what an education!Today an email from a book publisher: "I've been reading of your adventures with Puff. Maybe there's a book in it: _Travels with Puff._ If Steinbeck can do it, so can you."I think he's right, Dan, there is a book in that amazing flight. It can't be just text, though, a book would need photographs, to make it real. But where can I find photos for an adventure like that?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Pull out your maps from Seattle to Oskhosh, Dave. From Oshkosh, isn't there a Canadian Gaggle scheduled right after the show?

Thanks for the great story; I really enjoyed reading yours and Richards’s stories along the way. But the big question I see for me is, you said Phase 1 is complete. Where are you taking us on Phase 2? I am looking forward to it. Thanks for the great pictures.
