Dinghy, beach and bathtub

We took Jessica and the kids to the boat in Sidney today and are spending the night at Sidney Spit. The kids went out in the dinghy, walked on the sandy beach, sat on the paddle board, and Oliver also sat in the kayak. I think they enjoyed all of my toys, but the grand finale was a soak in our jacuzzi.

Oliver wanted to eat crab

Oliver asked for crab at lunch today and we went to the Crab King in Steveston, where Sheila, Andrea and I had celebrated my birthday recently. The kids tried the crab, but I think Oliver enjoyed the corn on the cob most, Max the fries and Clara the lights and people walking by. Sheila, Jessica and I enjoyed the meal very much. The waitress remembered us except that we had a different "kid" with us last time.

Enkel

Wir haben viel Spaß mit den Enkelkindern, auch wenn die Nächte etwas unruhig sind. Gestern hatten wir eine schöne Familienfeier, heute waren wir im Theater am Strand.

Crescent Beach

We have left the boat tied up in Sidney and moved into a little place close to the beach in Crescent Beach for the rest of this month. Tomorrow Jessica arrives with the grandchildren and we look forward to spending time together.

Gulf Islands

We have a few days now with Andrea cruising the Gulf Islands on Ancient Murrelet. Today we stopped at Pirates Cove Marine Park.

Special lunch

As it is a special day for me, we went for a special lunch: Dungeness Crab, King Crab, mussels etc. Andrea came in yesterday, we had a nice party in Steveston and are on our way to the boat in Nanaimo now.
