    Yes, yes! we remember you and thanks for signing in. Not sure what the problem is for adding a picture. I will look right now on the help and try to report on my next post. Others have experienced difficulty as well.

    How is Comox??? Pretty wet we hear. Our weather got warmer and warmer of course as we travelled south but please know that we had about 5 minutes of rain for the last few days and a lot of cloud.

    Again welcome to our adventure and keep writing comments it is fun for us to know that there are alive folks out there!!!! Lue and Claes and Joey

    Carl & I just spent 40 or more minutes perusing your lovely photos & reading all your recent entries. We're all excited & hopeful again. Its wonderful all the new people you're meeting along the way. I can't imagine anything quite so rewarding as enjoying friendship in a safe harbor after a long stretch of sailing.You must be some of the happiest peple alive. If it makes you feel even better about being in the tropics we just got a big dump of snow yesterday, and its allready raining & turning to mush,yeah. Needless to say we are looking forward to an all inclusive for one week in Mexico this Jan. Are you two happy with the way White Shell sails; is the shallow draft a problem at all? Also, Carl wanted to know if all the fish you catch are edible? Tried again to upload a photo to no avail but no worries; at least you know who we are. Many Cheers!!! Bless you guys! Deb & Carl

    Captain says "no" we have no problem. Low draft is convenient for entering into places as there are a lot of bars and shoaling in these parts.
    Lots of the vessels have shallow drafts for example: 4-6 feet. Whiteshell is loving the wind and seems to be as good if not better than most in storms. She is doing us well.

    We remember that you were shopping for a vessel and would remind you that even though we love her we would sell her to you. It is a bonus that she is here and all you would have to do is carry on. We will be putting her on the hard for summer and return to Canada and then return in the fall.

    Where will you be in January????

    The fish have not been over plentiful but then we only fish when we need fish and have eaten all we have caught. The best so far is the Dorado. Joey, loves all of it.

    Thanks again for writing and reading!!!

    Have a blessed Christmas
    Lue and Claes

HAPPY NEW YEAR - January 2025 Sitting around the breakfast table this morning with two young guests and one subject lead to another and the photo books got drug out and the story began to be retold…….one after another tales of the sea led us back to THE BLOG.   So here we are a few years older and much much wise lol the retelling stirred in us the joy of the adventure we have been on the two of for nearly 49 years…….all is well on the Petri front.

  My most favourite month of the year.     June…… 2024 Welcome back and we are so happy that you are visiting us again!    We managed to get through our Canadian winter as the weather was rather amiable. Yes we were blessed to keep warm and dry aw we ploughed through a little bit of snow.   OH MY yes I do love playing in the snow besides shovelling it is a great work out… dont ya know????   Now spring is nearly over and between the rain which is much appreciated and the wind we are surround by the glorious  greenery and flowers with their splashes of color……….its a good life here on Vancouver Island!  So with summer just around the corner we look forward to enjoying the beauty and tranquility of our many favourite spots either with the sailboat or the little holiday trailer we have. Keep posted and please leave a message under comments.
