Inside Passage to Juneau Nancy Webb...Pat Bonetar
30 NM Away
2 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
I'm on Alaska time now and only 30 nautical miles away from our first port of call, Ketchikan!

Despite being so close, we won't dock until 05:30, so to kill some time and save some fuel, the Captain shut down our starboard (right) engine. Our port engine is running us at 5 knots with only 800 rpm. These things are beasts! While starboard is off, the engineer is going to change its secondary fuel filters. I'd like to see that, but not enough to stay awake for it 🤣.

It's been an overcast and sometimes rainy day, but the scenery was still magnificent. Around 21:00, we passed Green Island Lighthouse. See it here:

We'll be docked before I wake up in the morning. It has been a smooth and uneventful journey through the Inside Passage, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the cruise in Alaska.Baca lagi

Orcas!
1 Jun 2023, Coastal Waters Of Southeast Alaska And British Columbia ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
We've been underway for over a day now. One of my duties as a deckhand is to be helmsman, that is, I get to drive the boat (steer the ship's rudder). Otherwise, it's a bit boring. When I'm not at the helm, I'm doing laundry, checking the engine room for fires or anything else wrong, wiping down outdoor furniture, etc. I was pretty bored when all of the sudden there were orcas nearby! I ran to the bridge where I had stowed my good camera and was able to get a few shots, but the pictures don't do justice to the powerful grace of these awe-inspiring wonders.

We've had very good weather so far, but once we passed Port Hardy and the shelter of Vancouver Island, we were subjected to the Pacific swells rolling in. It made several crew and several more passengers ill for the few hours it lasted until we turned to the east of Calvert Island.

What a great trip so far!Baca lagi

Inside Passage to Juneau Nancy Webb...Pat Bonetar
Friday Harbor and Places North!
31 Mei 2023, Coastal Waters Of Southeast Alaska And British Columbia ⋅ 🌙 59 °F
We left Anacortes at around 06:00, which put us in Friday Harbor around 08:00. This is a cute town, a village really, but everything is uphill from the pier, so I stayed on the ship except to find another geocache about 100 feet from where we docked 🤣.

When I left my room, I was pleasantly surprised to hear I had won Employee of the Cruise for our last 7-day trip. It comes with a stateroom for either the rest of this trip or for the next one. I like my small, solo accommodations--which are larger than my RV--so I gave the stateroom to a server.

While in Friday Harbor we learned that our guest--for whom we made the emergency stop two days ago--passed away after suffering a heart attack. I feel terrible for his partner and family, but I am very thankful he was not on the ship when it happened.

After filling our water tanks, we left Friday Harbor at 18:00 and sailed away into a glorious sunset. Luckily, the Captain didn't fall off the ship 😱.

Right now we're passing through Canadian waters in the Strait of Georgia almost due west of Vancouver 🛳️.

Next stop: Ketchikan, Alaska!Baca lagi

Geocaching in Washington
30 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
I'm working the noon to midnight shift, so before going on duty today I picked up my first geocache in Washington 😁. I wish I would've remembered caching sooner 🤦.

I also hit the local Safeway grocery store for a few unnecessary items before heading north, like granola and sugar free caramel candies 😋. Then I had a wonderful breakfast burrito before heading back to the ship.

We stayed docked all day, and this evening an electrician is attempting to fix the stern stabilizer that "didn't" catch on fire yesterday 🤞.Baca lagi

Anacortes via Port Townsend
29 Mei 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
Not on our itinerary today was an emergency stop in Port Townsend for a passenger who fell in the bathroom. The waiting EMS had a tough time getting his 374 pounds on a stretcher and across the gangway, but fortunately he only suffered a couple of broken ribs.

The only other events that happened today were a small, self-extinguishing fire when a thruster circuit exploded while docking at Port Townsend [not so good] and heavy winds that pushed us into Anacortes almost on time [not so bad].

All of that on Day 1. I'm almost afraid to see what tomorrow will bring. 😳Baca lagi

This Is The End...Really
14 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
The time has come. I got back from Odessa today and have decided to officially end my 2022 Motorcycle Adventure. What a ride!!!

From my first post on 13 February, here is what I challenged myself to accomplish in 2022 and how I did:
✅ Enjoy the ride!
✅ No whining.
✅ No crashing.
✅ Visit as many friends as I can and make new friends along the way.
✅ Complete Harley's Georgia and South Carolina 50 Rides 1 Nation Challenge (#47 and #48 of the 50).
✅ Complete Harley's 10 Rides for 2022.
✅ Visit all 50 locations in the 2022 Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas.
☹️ Visit at least 502 Harley dealerships. My official count for HOG's Dealership Challenge is 420. Another 14 visited but photos weren't accepted.
✅ Complete Iron Butt Association's National Parks Tour Master Traveler Award Silver.
☹️ Attend all of Harley's Touring Rallies. I could not make the Grand Museum rally because of the Hoka Hey.
✅ Complete the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge in the allotted time.
✅ Get amazing tan lines from my gloves.
----------

Here are a few nuggets from this year's riding:

- Meeting up with friends and making new friends at touring rallies is terrific ❤️. Catching up with old friends, if only for a cup of coffee ☕ or a hug 🫂, is totally worth the stop.

- Watching sunrise 🌄 and sunset 🌇 while riding the bike is one of my favorite things to do.

- You don't need as much stuff as you think you do. But always, always have duct tape, painters tape, and electrical tape.

- Now everyone in every state hangs out in the left lane 🖕.

- I'm no longer anxious about sleeping on the ground next to my bike, with or without a tent...or sleeping bag...or pillow...🤣.

- I won't live long enough see all the natural beauty in this world or even in just one state...okay, maybe in Rhode Island...but I'm going to see as much of it as I can for as long as I can. And you're all welcome to join me!

VROOM VROOM UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

----------

Here's some statistics:

- TOTAL TRIP MILEAGE: 61556.8
-- Today's mileage: 396.5 (total 26436.1 + 10552.0 Hoka Hey + 24568.7 pre-Hoka Hey)
-- Annual Mileage [so far]: 64,407 (142,620 14 Oct - 78,213 1 Jan)

- 217 days on the road and all but a handful on the bike. Yes, that's an average of over 28 miles EVERY DAY.

- $19,478.74 spent at 23 HDs on bike maintenance, not including cost of four tows (5 rear flats and 1 dead battery; I rode on 2 of the flats)

----------

So long, and thanks for all the fish! ✌️Baca lagi

🤬Hope Your Day Was Better Than Mine
13 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
Despite 188 miles on my trip meter, I finished the day only 37 miles (and $350 poorer) from where I started.

- 138433 odometer: Warhawk HD in Monroe, LA, changes my belt and pulley. I pick the bike up with the truck/trailer on Wednesday, 28 Sep.

- 138803 (<370 miles later): The first day I ride after the belt change, Sunday, 2 Oct, I discover a slow/small leak in outer primary cover. I can't call Monroe until they open Tuesday, 4 Oct.

- Tuesday, 4 Oct, I begin another leg of my trip. When I speak to Monroe, they say the leak can wait until my next service.

- 139750 (1,317 miles after belt change): Wednesday, 5 Oct, Legacy HD in Odessa, TX, fixes the leak in the primary cover. They notice a lot of black oil slung underneath and dripping off the bike. Despite the noticeable leak being that fresh oil clear gold color, they don't delve any deeper than the outer primary. They do the five-mile test ride; no leak. They clean the bike and I'm off. Monroe pays $150 to fix the leak.

- 141588 (1,838 miles after Odessa work): Sunday, 9 Oct, I notice a lot of black oil slung underneath and dripping off the bike, exactly the same as before. I can't call Odessa until they open Tuesday, 11 Oct.

- Wednesday, 12 Oct, I ride the 400+ miles to Odessa.

- 142049: Thursday, 13 Oct, Odessa pulls the primary apart again. The leak is from the INNER primary, specifically the main shaft seal. According to the tech, Don--who wanted to go into the inner primary the first time he worked on it, but Ty said not to--the seal shows damage from installation, which would have happened when Monroe changed the belt. Don fixes it, rides it 15 miles, and says it's good to go.

Odessa management claims the bike left clean without a leak and that the leak is new because the bike is so old and because I rode so many miles since they worked on it. Monroe says they didn't touch the main shaft seal, but after speaking to another Odessa tech, Monroe admits they had to in order to change the belt. Despite that admission, Monroe refuses to admit they damaged it during the repair. Only because they tore it apart before, Odessa agrees to halve the hours (from 4 to 2 @ $100/hr), leaving me with the $350 bill.

To top it all off, 50 miles after I leave Odessa, I stop at a gas station specifically to check under the primary...and find fresh fluid. I ride 50 miles back to Odessa. Don rechecks everything, thoroughly cleans it, does another 15-mile ride, and swears it's not leaking.

My ass hurts.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

Back In Odessa
12 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
I'm back in Odessa, Texas, to let Legacy HD fix the leak they fixed last week. 420 miles on I-20. Joy. I decided to stay at the same hotel I stayed at last week. It's a dump, but it's a clean dump. Plus it has a lounge, which is where I'm sitting right now.

I spent a couple of hours seeing a dear friend in Austin, then made my way home. Unfortunately, my heated grips aren't working...again...and the leak I had under my crank case is back. Guess I'll be going back to Odessa so Legacy HD can fix what they fixed a few days ago. 😭

MCGTTX MISSION COMPLETE!
8 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
Aaaahhhh. Last night was very nice, but the luxury must have made me lazy because I couldn't get moving this morning. I finally drug myself out of bed and walked to a local breakfast joint. Everything in this part of Texas is in Spanish with some English and even some Spanglish. But it's no different than any other border area where cultures, customs, and language meld together, such as in Europe.

I finally rolled out of the hotel at 11:00. By the time I got to South Padre Island, I was hungry again, so I had a lovely meal at a place right on the water. There was even a band playing.

It was much easier to leave the island than getting there because of all the holiday traffic. From there I made it to Corpus Christi and Victoria before hitting Austin. I used points again to stay in a hotel I stayed in last year. Winning again!

Even though all the food was delicious and the sunset was stunning tonight, the best part.of today was completing the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas! Two years in a row! Yippee!! 👏🥳😁

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

Rain Delay
7 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
Last night I pitched my tent next to the bike under cover at the HD. At 04:00, it began to rain. "No problem," I thought, and I turned over to go back to sleep. Then I got water in my face. Turns out, the top of the "cover" wasn't solid, so I began packing up hoping it would stay a sprinkle until I could get to the gas station. I got lucky and was only slightly damp by the time I made it to real cover.

The storm was moving slowly northeast, so I waited until after 09:00 to let it get well in front of me. Despite going under the speed limit and hanging.out at a Whataburger for a two-hour lunch, I caught the rain, so I decided to call it a day by cashing in some hotel points.

I found a great historic hotel in old downtown McAllen (the one near Brownsville, not Dallas). They even let me park on the sidewalk by the front walk!

Now I'm having a Netflix night and staying dry. Winning!

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

Another Afternoon At Service
5 Oktober 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
I actually had a decent rest last night in my tent at the Shell station. I woke at 06:00, got some coffee and breakfast, packed up, and rolled by 07:00.

Watching the sunrise while riding a motorcycle has become one of the most enjoyable part of my days. Sunsets on the warm beach with a cold beer are better, but I digress 😉.

Anyway, I checked off three more MCGTTX stops before heading to the Odessa HD, where I hoped to have my 140,000-mile service done and get a leak fixed. Long story short: They were able to fix me today. Yippee! Also, the dealership in Monroe, LA, who recently replaced my belt and pulley paid $150 to fix the leak that was coming from the crankcase. Yippee again!

After a free Chick-fil-A salad, five hours of waiting, and $500 out of my own pocket, I had Willie back and decently cleaned. But when I went outside, the sky was rolling with clouds. Instead of riding in the rain while both the sun and the temperature dropped, I decided to grab a hotel for the night. Luckily, I found a Travelodge for barely over $50. Yippee! Pretty good day.

Oh! And I got to see the new Low Rider ST El Diablo in person today! There are only 1500 😱. The photos don't do it justice. Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this bike!!!

Well, my last post was a touch premature on the The End bit. After over a week off the bike and doing a whole bunch of adulting stuff, today I got back on the road to hit some dealerships and grab a few Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas pics.

This Is The End--Part 1
22 September 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F
With over 137,000 miles on the odometer and over 60,000 on the trip, Willie's belt gave out on me today only 250 miles from home. So close! Luckily, I was very close to Warhawk HD in Monroe, AL, and was able to make it to them before it completely broke.

Because I am so close to home, I decided to leave the bike with them--they'll get the belt and pulley parts on Saturday--and take an early morning Greyhound to Tyler, TX, where my awesome uncle is going to pick me up.

Every day is an adventure!

I suppose I'll call this the end of the trip, although I still have a couple thousand miles to ride in order to complete the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas.

Final stats and a wrap up will be in Part 2 later this month.

Posse Ride Day 5
8 September 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
John and I left Ogden at 06:15 this morning 😴😴😴. But it was worth it. We hit three dealers in Salt Lake City, then hightailed it to Moab. We picked up a picnic lunch at a grocery store and rode to the entrance of Arches National Park! Woohoo! We got to the gate at exactly 12:00, which was the beginning of our timed entry ticket. Perfect!

After a stop at the visitor center, we rode through the park, stopping at just about every pulloff and viewpoint. We had lunch at Panorama Point, which was incredibly beautiful, but so very hot. 103°F 🥵🥵🥵. By the time we made it back to the entrance, we had drunk all of our Gatorade and water. Luckily we were able to refill all of our bottle and take a break in the shade before riding out.

Somewhat cooler, we left the park and took UT128 north along the Colorado River. This is one of my favorite roads, and I enjoyed watching John's head turn on a swivel as he tried to take in the scenery.

Despite the heat, we had a wonderful day that ended with dinner at the Grand Junction HD. Winning!!!
