MID MAY MORNING AT KYE BAY.............absolutely glorious!

After a full week of work I woke to the familiar sound of the eagles chirping away in their roost, high at the top of the fir trees just behind the resort.  Their chatter is ominous as it warns the little critters of their presence.  With Joey safely tucked into the duvet cover I drifted  back a sleep.
Having gone to bed around midnight last night--which is very late for me I leisurely stayed in bed till eight. (I watched a movie called

PS. I Love You  with Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick. Jr. Gina Gershon Jeffery Dean Morgan and Kathy Bates. Very cute, sweet movies, very touching and truly watchable. Well done!

Claes left for Powell River on the last ferry last night.  The cabin at Savary is calling and he and Rob, his younger  brother will spend the weekend doing some chores.  It is a beautifully weekend and I am sure they will have a great time reconnecting. and telling stories of their brother Per.  It seems time just goes by so quickly as it has  been a year March that Per passed away.

Sitting at my table with my blog page open in front of me I look out on to the Straight of Georgia and see that the Powell River ferry makes yet another round trip.  The tide is out so early  beach "bums" are out walking--their dogs their selves and their family.  The wind is light and coming from the north and with the sun shinning it is a very nice morning.

My boss lady/friend Roz is spending the week with us.  That is always a fun time as she and I do so  love Kye Bay and always share great ideas for the resort.  Some are grand and dreamable others are do-able and get done!  HAHAH!  This week we will concentrate on the gardens and flower pots. 

Life is good at The Bay.  Working hard already but enjoying it.  Sore muscles feel good and the excitement mounts as we get closer to June 1st when we take over the reigns of management. 

So then this is the post for today.  I trust that all that are following us continue to follow and for those of you who really are just interest in the sailing...............hang in there.  October will come quickly and the crew of the WhiteShell II will be off into the sunset again.

Until then.....................enjoy the stories from the beautiful Comox Valley and our lives here.

Lue Claes and The great yellow hunter Joey Kat.

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

Image
As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

SAILORS SEEKING SECOND SIGHT OF PERLAS ISLAS

Image
The last few months have certainly been filled with many enjoyable days and peaceful nights We arrived in Panama City in awe of the sight of such a huge skyline of massive buildings which is certainly impressive night or day.  Upon closer inspection it is just another huge city filled with business, malls and people....lots of people.  Some not so fortunate as the large areas of low income buildings is large and not safe to travel in.    Our time with Canadian friends, Roz and Dave was fantastic.   We were pleased that they enjoyed themselves so much and fell into "Sailing life"very well.  The White Shell lent herself to two more bodies on board and all was well. From what the pictures tell you we had a great time sailing to The Perlas Islands, exploring, swimming, fishing and just plain relaxing.  David did amazing things with the guitar and the fishing rod. LOL  It took us a few days to regroup after their departure...

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

Image
  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
