The Story of guy and gal!

 Ryan just phoned Crista this am  They delivered  a baby girl this morning at 5:15, all was smooth and baby is healthy.  Ryan said "pudgy" at 7.6lbs, nothing definite on the name but are leaning towards "Stella". Sophie thinks she'll be discharged by tonight and possibly home by tomorrow, so we might just have a new baby at Thanks giving dinner.  Hopefully we can Skype and have pictures out by the end of the weekend.   Thank You God for a brand new grand daughter!!!!

Yes, just look at the new photos in the gallery on the left and you will see he was smiling!  We ended yesterday with the motor being bolted down in the engine room.  Needless to say we shared a nice bottle of wine with supper and were excited that the job is in "progress".  Today the exhaust system is being modified a little and installed. (The bedroom is torn apart as the system goes under our bed!)  Great way to dust and get your bedding aired!!!  HAHAHHA! We will sleep in the galley for the next few nights.  (An opportunity to check out the guest bedroom) This is certainly testing us!  All is good though.  We understand there is another storm coming down the coast of America so we are content to be safely tucked in harbour.  We were invited to the Yacht Club tonight for friday night supper.  Having met a few nice folks the other night it was  gratifying to visit and see familiar faces as  build new relationships.  Th...

Yes!  The guys are working on the boat since 8:45 am .  (Must have been the fresh bread I passed around yesterday.  HAHHAHA)     Decisions are being made about the muffler and exhaust systems,     Water senders and the list goes on.     All is good as Claes has been able to coincide the installation of the water maker as well.    We have heard the word PERFECT  a number of times already and it is only  10:45.   Thank You GOD!  Check out the photo gallery on the left side bar for more pics of the motor. I am studying my I tunes software today so hopefully soon we will have tons of music and things to download on the I POD.  Thinking ahead as we wont always have power or the Internet. Met a lady the other day on a boat near buy so will go off and visit her just now.............her name is Ann. Then another couple invited us out for supper at the local Yacht Club........stay tuned fo...

Life here on the dock as you can see is pretty simple.   The progress on the motor is slow as we are not in control of how much works gets done...........so of course we do get a little frustrated with  the Good Lord helping us take turns at that so we are suppporting each other. (and not fighting). Claes is busy studying and making preparations to install the water maker.  He continues to help the guys here as well.  I, have mastered a very tasty Whole Wheat bread............... molasses and all.  I hope to buy some 7 grain flower to work with as well.  We finished off some of the fresh tuna tonight, that was marrinated in Kye Bay sauce so we are very satisfied physcially tonight.  Claes and I designed a busines like card to hand out to folks as when you meet other sailors they always want you communication info............so you provide a card.  We have a picture of the White Shell so it is rather nice........I will try and post it. We have be...
