A day out in Victoria
Here’s some pictures from our day out in Victoria. Our friend on the next door boat, Jim, was at an event in town for the day and offered to take us, so we jumped at the chance. The event was an outdoor equipment show, so Max and Issie had fun on the climbing wall and […]
Owen and Amanda visit
All the way from the UK, Amanda and Owen came to spend a some time with us, and we managed to cruise down to the nearby Gulf Islands. We had a great time, did many things, such as: played on the beach, walked in the forest, had ice cream, drank some wine and beer, caught […]
Maxism
Max is playing on the beach. Wow, Mummy, look it’s a hermit crab shell but it’s not a crab, it’s a HERMIT SNAIL!!!!
Nick’s birthday, and hanging out in Comox
I turned thirty-something again a couple of weeks ago, succeeding in making it to Canada before I turn forty. Because of a calendar mistake by Gesa, we also celebrated Father’s Day on the same Sunday, a week early as it turned out but a nice double celebration none the less. I was woken in the […]
More photos from a couple of weeks ago
Up in Princess Louisa Inlet, we anchored in front of Chatterbox Falls, and quickly met a lot of new friends tied up to the Park Dock. There was a regular cocktail hour, and when we said we were going to hike up to the Trapper’s Cabin, there was a rapid divide into the ‘we’re too […]
I Am Canadian! (Resident….)
Yesterday we were offered a lift to Victoria by a friend who was going there for the day. This was the perfect opportunity for me to pop across to America and back so that I could activate my visa that allows me to be a permanent resident and work here. For arcane reasons, I have […]
Photos, lots of photos
On our way up the mainland shore, we anchored in Pender Harbour, which would certainly bear more exploration. Sadly we only had one night but we did do some school – experiments with water, mixing and dilution, ate our prawns from the night before, watched a biplane perform acrobatics above us but still not match […]
The Best Laid Plans….
We were due to head down to Vancouver today, stopping at a nice island called Jeddidiah overnight. In Vancouver we planned to meet up with Owen and Amanda, great friends from the UK and take them for five or so days sailing. The sailing gods had other plans. In fact, today it was the turn […]
A few photos!
Our very nice friends on Protection Island, Nanaimo offered us some of their tasty wine. Turns out they made it themselves, so we thought we would give it a go, especially as it works out MUCH cheaper. All we have to do is choose the kit, pour in the yeast and the rest is done […]
Photos from Princess Louisa
A few of the views from the fabulous Princess Louisa Inlet, including Ty Dewi anchored in front of Chatterbox Falls. Pictures can’t do it justice, it’s a constant feast for the eyes and the mind.
