Sails are Duty Free, unless imported from Cuba or North Korea in which case the duty is 30%

The man from Montana always does this!

How are you Tom & Tatiana? Hiding out where from the rain and wind? David from Pelagia.

Hi David!
Currently we anchored at Port Hadlock, at the head of Port Townsend Bay.
Gusting 45 this Morning but now it 's back to fun.
safe sailing

yeah, fun... Gusting 42 at Pt Atkinson today, but Pelagia safely in her berth and us up in the mountains watching the snow.

Hope we'll get to cross paths... if you make it back to BC waters, down the road[emoji1696]

Good luck with new sails.
