Cindy's mom Katie and her friend Vickie ~ Late May Katie Plaza and Vickie Southwick of Sunnyvale, California joined Skookumchuck for a ten day cruise in late May. It was one of the things Katie had waited for a long time in her life. At 85, her dream finally came true. Vickie, at 84 wasn't far behind. These two "live wires" were the oldest women to ever cruise with us. What a treat! |

We had float plane visitors! |
| And a beach party soon after. Gary Mulligan (Phyllis' husband) and nephew David flew in to join us for a day. The weather was spectacular! |

| And yes, we sailed! |

OK, when you're in your eighties, you get all the help you need. The twins were there at every turn for these two octogenarians. |

All to soon it was time to take a farewell photo. The ten days were gone before we knew it! |
