June 29, 2013 - GLORIOUS sunshine


June 29, 2013 – GLORIOUS Sunshine

We awoke to brilliant sunshine this morning … what a treat!  That opened up many possibilities for the day’s activities … a walk into town for provisions & swimming under the boat to clear the kelp from the stabilizers and the wing engine.  I will let you take a guess as to who did what ….



Boys and their toys …. Diving gear & Go-Pro camera …
 

 

We had a “repair guy” come down to look at our KVH Sat TV system and Talbot’s radar ….our TV is now working …. Talbot’s radar, not so much.  Apparently it needs parts … on Canada Day long weekend … good luck with THAT !!!

Stay tuned as this may affect the trip schedule somewhat …  that and the most recent weather update.  Our weather window is changing .... planning a boating trip is like trying to nail Jello.

There is a family of eagles that nest somewhere very near the marina and they are magnificent, as they swoop around the boats.  For a very majestic bird, we decided they had a less than majestic sound … they sound like a squeaky door hinge!!  But they are FUN to watch ….
 
 

 

Hamburgers on the back deck and another beautiful evening …

  1. Eagles sound sick from my perspective Kim. We see them at Nanoose all the time and when we do hear them wonder why they have such a wimpy voice. Take care! Ray is talking to your Dad at the moment. n

  2. We are following your adventure with great interest, sounds like all is going well and you are having fun. Great pics!
    We caught your AIS yesterday on the way to Bull Harbour. Hope the weather cooperates for your rounding of the "Horn" today. Happy Canada Day!
