Farewell Kinship, we have had a blast

Phil and Annette have reached Anacortes, WA and have put Kinship up for sale. We have enjoyed following Kinship around for about four years now, and while we will miss her, we will not lose our friendship with Phil and Annette.

Phil and Annette on Kinship

In 2022 Phil moved Kinship from the Oakland Yacht Club on Alameda Island up to Sidney, British Columbia. Brad and friend Jim Labbe made the journey over the course of ten days.

I swore I wasn’t taking anything from Kinship when they emptied her. I was wrong.
