November 01.12 Good morning and happy November.  Still raining out my front door here in #2 Cottage at Kye Bay Resort.........the most beautiful spot on the east coast of Vancouver Island.  www.kyebay.com The Captain is counting the "get ups" left in Boston Bar.   Joey is checking out the available couches as he prepares to serf for the winter. Lovely Jane and Faithful Fred are his Kye Bay Winter family but you that know Joey gotta know he makes the rounds.  More on that as the season progresses.  and I am working through  my list of things to get, buy, fix and pack in between the side affects of those darn Typhoid pills we are taking.  Tomorrow is the last day of the procedure. (four pills with a skipped day in between the taking.)  Usually get a shot but they did NOT have any so we went for the oral meds.  http://www.viha.ca/contact_us/     Here is the link for those of you who need more i...

SAILORS STARTING TO MAKE DEPARTURE PLANS

The list of wishes is out on the desk, with Google search results listed as we begin the month of preparations to return to our beloved White Shell.  This list is actually rather short, which is a good thing. LOL  Begining the fourth season of our Cruising life  we are encouraged with that;life is very simple for The Captain and I.  The joy is that each season brings us even closer to this simplified life we now crave.  Purchasing the Hurrican 'THORE' motor home was/is brilliant!!!!  We now have our own Canadian Home and storage place for our personal belongings for the sailing season.  All for very little money and tons of comfort and enjoyment.  (The Captain says he is very comfortable as we speak as he lives in it and works in Boston Bar....I am off to visit him next shift change so will report back.) The list?   I will publish that later as I must sign off for today and join my good friend Lillian -Joeys great aunt...........off to...

SEASON CHANGE BRINGS THOUGHTS OF TROPICAL WINDS

AHHH............. I LOVE THE AUTUMN, crisp morning air, colors of bright orange and yellows sending everyone to scurry off and bring in the harvest.  Be it your home grown tomatoes or home spun yarn- knit sweater, needing airing after being tucked away all summer.... it is time to prepare for yes another season.  And for us we are nearly finished with the month of putting Kye Bay away and hauling out the duffel bag to pack and GO back to our beloved White Shell.  Our return flight takes off early the morning of November 8th 2012.   Trusting that you will come along for part four of the journey aboard............please come back regularly as we we update the pages and set off! the two sailors,  Lue and Claes

AUGUST -8-12   Early morning catching up on all the blog news...........our friends continue to sail, our family continues to be busy and we continue to believe that today is the best day yet!!!!!  Half way through our Canadian summer and we are beginning to think of our flight on November 8th to bring us back to our beloved White Shell and the fourth season of our life aboard. Yes,  I guess at heart we are part gypsy!!!                Cant wait to pull up anchor and set sail...........after a few weeks of maintenance and provisioning it will feel fantastic to have that wind in our face.  Looking forward to it for sure.  Plans are tentatively made to leave the estuary as soon as that is all done and make our way towards Nicaragua.  Hope to spend some time there exploring and then on to Puntaranas Costa Rica for Daniel's wedding in early January.............The Lord knows the...
