Russell with friends

I spent a day at Sidney Spit, enjoying the continued fine weather. Yesterday I went to Russell Island, which still has an old orchard. There are friends on two other boats here, and we picked apples, blackberries, and salal berries together. A very nice evening enjoying the fruits of our labour together, but not much boat work got done.

A nice day in Montague Harbour

I left Ganges this morning and went to Montague Harbour, only a good hour away. The weather is still gorgeous and I enjoyed walking in the park. A boat we met on our trip to Alaska is here too and I enjoyed a nice lunch with Chris. Now I am just waiting for the sunset!

Summer again

Sumner is back, the air is clear, and I am going back to the boat.

Der Rauch ist weg, und die Kinder auch

Ein Westwind vom offenen Meer hat unseren Waldbrand Rauch wieder nach Osten verschoben, die frische Luft tut gut. Nach einem schönen Tag auf Granville Island sind Jessica und Familie heute Abend wieder weg geflogen. Unsere Nachbarn werden sich über die Ruhe freuen, wir müssen uns noch daran gewöhnen.

Smoke

The hot and dry weather has resulted in close to 600 fires across British Columbia and today Vancouver was blanketed in smoke. We went to visit Bonnie in Whistler and the air is a bit better there. We spent the afternoon walking along the River of Golden Dreams and the kids discovered several great swimming holes.

We are on the boat for two days and everybody is enjoying the hot weather and ocean. The bubble bath at night in our jacuzzi on board is also a great hit. Yesterday, we came into Pirates’ Cove, which features a real pirates treasure chest. Kind members of a local yacht club keep it filled with treasures, and the kids picked a few choice items. All the kayaks and paddle boards are in constant use. Today we are heading back.

Busy day

Alistair joined us on Saturday, and for whatever reason, he doesn’t suffer from jet lag. Today we left early for an excursion to Capilano Suspension Bridge, which was great fun. Then we had a picnic lunch in a park close by, where Oliver discovered a nice swimming hole in the stream running through the park. We others found the water a little chilly. This was followed by a few hours at Third Beach and a hamburger dinner, and Bernice joined us for that. Now everybody is very tired and we hope the kids fall asleep soon so we can also go to bed.

Beach day

Another hot and sunny day, and we spent it all on the beach in English Bay. Oliver was in luck as the tide was high enough for the big slide to open, all had fun in the sand and sun.

Yesterday, we celebrated my birthday in a very nice restaurant and Sheila, her mother, Jessica and the boys watched a great fire work at English Bay. Today we are spending the day at Queen’s Park in New Westminster.

Jessica, Oliver, Max und Clara sind gut angekommen und wir haben viel Spaß zusammen. Das Wetter ist weiter sehr heiß und sonnig, ideal für den Strandbesuch.
