The KnottyDog.com site was named after our first boat, KnottyDog, and seems to have followed us over the years.

There have been 5 KnottyDogs in our lives:

Knotty Dog I (1998 – 2003) was a 42 Grand Banks and was our home in the Alaska 2002 log

Parts of this site are very old and the format had changed as technologies change. We hope that our journal will be fun and allow you to join us from your arm chair, experiencing our laughs, fears, frustration, and elation along the way.
