Still sick, but on the mend...

Well, it's been almost a month since I got sick, and what a DRAG -- I hate it! I still have no energy for much of anything. We did get out for one little dinghy ride the other day when the sun came out for a few hours, and we went up the Gorge to see a sunken fish boat someone told us about. In fact, we saw the SEarch and Rescue boat go flying by here the other day, and wondered what it was up to.

Sure enough, there it was -- about a 35-footer, it looks like, sitting on the bottom just past the Bay Street Bridge, with the cabin roof a couple of feet above water. And wouldn't you know it? I forgot to take my camera! If we get out again this week, I'll remember, and post pics.

THE STORMS

Three of the last four nights we've had huge wind storms in the night -- gusts as high as 60 mph! The front page of our local paper this morning shows a nice catamaran up on the rocks at Oak Bay -- sure glad we're tied to the dock. I didn't get much sleep last night, though ... we were 'banging around' quite a bit. Apparently quite a few areas lost power, and there were trees down, etc. -- quite a night!
