Hi all,
Well, we’ve rounded the corner. After another few, beautiful days in our secret location (where we confirmed it was indeed a young male wolf we had spotted when last we visited) and really enjoying the privilege of walking the island trails (granted to us last year by two and now four of the owners) it was time to turn our nose(s) south towards home.
The only wrinkle we are dealing with is wee Maddie who woke up one morning and said “I’m not sure I like it when the boat’s moving”. We’re working on that but it does have it’s challenges. She and we will persevere.
We came down as far as Pender Harbour today (for a short grocery shop and shower and then gone again). The NW has been kicking up quite vigorously and we hope it will calm down soon. Tomorrow morning (early) we hope to make it across to the south end of Texada Island (Anderson Bay) if the winds and seas permit. We’ll spend either one or two nights there and cross the Straits when it will be the most puppy friendly.
We will likely head into the Gulf Islands for our last few days. We expect to be home by July 31.
We’ve met lots of wonderful folks and been, yet again, awed by Mother Nature’s beauty. We are so very glad to call the coast of British Columbia home.
Hope all is well with each of you and your families. Best CJ
OOPS: it’s now Monday morning and remember “plans written in sand below high water”? Well, there’s a little rubber doodad carefully placed in the heads system (read that as toilet system) that has a very important job. This little bit is called a Joker and ours is apparently failing. We’ll be staying at Pender Harbour for another day while I change it out. Besides, it’s still blowing pretty hard out there. Hopefully we’ll get away tomorrow and be back on track.
