There is no more singularly dramatic wild place for a boat to be placed in the lower 48 than just off Smith Island in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. For all you can see, it is essentially now as it was 2,000 years ago. Like Pre-Contact.
Time passed without notice. It felt timeless. here and now. Here. Now.
Ebb out Admiraly Inlet. 10 knots for hours. Flood into Cattle Pass, 10 knots again. 30 miles in less than 5 hours. Rippled seas and bright sun.
There is no greater thing. There is no greater being.

Quick question for you Brian. If you knew then what you know now, would you still buy the Twin Disc? If not, what would you have done instead? Rebuild the old Hurst?
Wish I'd been able to make it over there last week to say hi.

Hi Scott. I would seriously look at other options and if I bought another Twin Disc, I would know to paint it ahead of time. Why in the world Twin Disc doesn't make their transmissions from non-corrosive metals, or paint it themselves, is absolutely beyond me. It works fine mechanically speaking, as far as shifting.
