Sam - born June 25, 2010



Welcome Sam, born 6 weeks early on June 25, 2010, weighing in at a healthy 5lbs. 8 ozs.


Cabin No. 4 - Chataway

No electricity, no running water, no toilet - propane for cooking and wood stove for heating, and the mosquitos were biting like crazy! Unfortunately, the pine beetle has done a "job" on the surrounding forest as seen in the grey tree stumps.

Chataway Lakes


The first "bite" - brook trout - caught about 8 (had to throw 4 back though - bit too small)
Outside the cabin - trying to keep the mosquitos away!

Pictures taken on Chataway Lake showing the damage of the pine beetle to the trees is now very evident.

Arrival into the Port of Vancouver - May 12/2010


Arrival home after sailing over 9000 miles - it is a beautiful sunny May day to sail into the Port of Vancouver.

Hilo, Hawaii


Flowers on display for sale in the market in Hilo. This is our last port of call before we arrive in Vancouver (next 5 days will be at sea)

Leaving Lahaina, Hawaii


Sail-away from the Port of Lahaina - I purchased the plumeria lei for $5 from a street vendor - it lasted for about 4 days - so fragrant and beautiful.

This is the biggest banyon tree in the world - it is huge!
