All is well aboard Knight n Gale, Cygnet, and Spirit Moon! We left Port Angeles docks for our long cruise trip through the San Juan islands! Not long after our departure a ship's engine overheated and we're making last minute repairs!

I doubt many of our current local Sea Scout Community knew John, but he was a real leader.

It is with a saddened heart but a joyous spirit that we must report that Commodore John Kelly has set sail for a glorious adventure to the far horizon. His course is now set on the stars and to a future of exploring the wonders of the universe and of the heavens.
