BLOGGING AGAIN, AND ON THE MOVE
Yes, I'm committed to posting regularly again, but I've started over at a new spot... . Come on over!
My hubby and I are liveaboard boaters on Vancouver Island, and the ocean is our passion. This blog will reflect that lifestyle, our interests, and our day-to-day 'waterborne' and liveaboard adventures.

Well, between being ill and planning for our local (Victoria) FibreFest doesn't leave a whole lot of time for blogging! I HAVE gotten some knitting done, and of course, the weather here is awesome, so we've been out on the water as much as possible. Here's a shot of the harbour this weekend.... one of the 20 biggest yachts in the world came to visit!
Well, I am 'boat-bound' with a horrid allergic reaction to something that's made my skin burn, so I look like a lobster and I'm stupid from the double dose of antihistamines and lack of sleep from the last few days. I lost day before yesterday completely, which is a drag because the first cruise ship of the season arrived and we intended to go in the inflatable to welcome it properly -- instead, I completely forgot about it.
Today we drove out to Sooke to pick up some room dividers we need for our common room here at the marina. I made a picnic salad before we left, and we took it down to the Sooke Spit -- "Whiffenspit," to locals. From the parking lot, to the left is the entrance to the Sooke Harbour (and the famous Sooke Harbour House is on the right) and to the right is wide open Juan de Fuca Strait -- all the way to Japan, prety much! It was flat calm, very rare for that area, so it was lovely to hang out there for awile ... saw a couple of little boats coming in to the harbour, but not much else going on. So, for today, here is your Water Shot: Sooke Spit beach.
Several years ago, when we were chartering, a couple from Alberta spent an anniversary weekend with us in Silva Bay on Gabriola Island. Ed and Jennifer had never seen ocean before, and they had a great time.
