Travels with SV Shannon's Spirit

Welcome to our blog; a collection of communiques about our travels, adventures and other tidbits of life that we happen upon. If you're interested in our sailing journey from Victoria to Mexico and up into the Sea of Cortez - you can read it in chronological order, starting in December 2010. We hope you will enjoy the read and choose to follow along as we ramble through life. The goal? To 'live' every day and adventure as long as we can. CJ and Kathy

Yesterday, today & Tomorrow

Now I'm not complaining but yesterday was hot and it was a good day in Sturt Bay. We moved the boat around into a nicer slip and one that we can leave from going forward as opposed to backing out which is tricky with a boat that pulls hard to port in reverse. Ourselves and J, a solo sailor we had met before and who is also here, had a very nice dinner at the pub; a short walk from the marina. Kathy and Maddie went for a paddle around the Bay and we had a quiet evening. Today… no sun to be seen and it's raining, just as forecast. The SE winds are also picking up. We will stay one more day and then hope to continue our leg southbound to the Hardey Island area. All is well on the good ship SSpirit. Hope all is well with you.

PS. The grizzly that was in the Powell River area when we were there is now on Texada and his scat was found at the entrance to the shipyard across from the marina. We are all being very careful where and how we walk.
