and not the end of the world. Rather an unusual cloud size and shape, passing over the sun. Hello good morning; checking in from Madeira Park, Pender Harbour. We’ve had a good run so far and are currently settled at our favourite dock in PH. Robin, the wharfinger is a gem and it is always good to catch up with him. We will be here for a few days it seems, waiting for the winds and seas to calm down a bit. Like most sailors we enjoy a good sail but climbing up and down moderate swells, beating into a SE wind and burying the rails in the water …is still not a welcome experience (unless you’re racing ;then it’s fun! ) Nothing exciting to report, except the fact Mother Nature continues to treat us with her magnificent beauty as we travel along our coast. We are indeed blessed. Hope the winds and rain near you also offer up some fresh beauty for you to enjoy. We may decide to cross tomorrow (Friday) or wait another day or two. There are worse places to hang out and we still have some days without commitments left TTFN. CJ
