Weighing Anchor
“It’s time to go!” Kathy commanded as she boarded Adventure. She had just returned from a morning dinghy ride with one of our buddy boats. I was inside, fully immersed in a death scroll on my phone. Taken aback, I looked up, confused. Kathy gave me a stern look.“Do you want your cookies or not?” Today was…
When He Paid $15
Sean’s watched all the old westerns. This was a special moment for him.
Moving to Sea Level
With Salish Sea average water temperatures in the summer in the low 50s, you won’t find many people ocean swimming. But last year we went to Desolation Sound, B.C. and discovered seawater that was warm enough to swim in! Fjords filled with sunken granite slabs, minimal water movement, and extensive sunlight, work together to warm…
It’s Getting Desperate!
There’s no longer anything good. No cookies, no milk, no chocolate. I could go on, but what’s the point. Kathy tried to throw the Doritos bag away but I wouldn’t let her. “It’s empty,” she said. “Blah, blah, blah.” She continued. I stopped listening. I was starting to get the shakes. “I…need…PRESERVATIVES!” When we sail…
It’s Crabbing Time
Kathy wanted a place to kayak and try her hand at crabbing so we decided to go to Sidney Spit. It’s an idyllic spot at Sidney Island as long as the weather is settled. We were tired of all the loud noises at Victoria. The B.C. parliament demonstrators, the planes, the sirens, the cars screeching.…
A Tour Of Adventure (by Casey)
Casey thinks we are bad bloggers because we don’t even have a walk-through video of Adventure. Here is her video to inform our 21 subscribers of where we live for 6+ months of the year. For the more technically minded: Fuel: 178 gallons diesel (approx 900-1000 mile range) Solar: 1300 watts House batteries: 1200 amps…
Day ONE of Casey’s Visit!
We woke up to drill instructor Casey banging on a garbage can lid. “RISE AND SHINE YOU MISERABLE BAGS OF COULD’VE-BEENS!” She got right in my face. “WHAT’S A MATTER, PRINCESS? TOO EARLY FOR YOU?” I groaned. I looked at the clock and it was only 0630. “TEN MINUTES. FULL UNIFORM. SHAVED, BOOTS BLISTERS OR…
That’s not right!
They kicked me out!😢
She’s alive!
Despite rumors of Casey mysteriously disappearing, and being abducted by Bigfoot, I can assure you she is alive and well. She came to visit us in Victoria and has quite an itinerary planned for us. Stay tuned!🙂
Victoria!
It was 8:02 if you must know. Kathy had agreed the previous evening that we would be leaving at 8 but once again she wasn’t keeping her part of the deal… …Sorry, I was going to write a much longer blog but was cut short by the editor-in-chief. Our youngest daughter is flying in this…
