Scallops - a great catch
That is a great catch of scallops. If there is two people on board you are allowed to take 40 scallops but in this case we had six people on board Slice of Heaven so were allowed 20 more a total of sixty. Of cause we had the most wonderful fresh scallop dinner that night.

Yvonne's Visit
In the latter part of August Yvonne flew in from Vancouver to spend some time with Thelma and the rest of the family.
Kath, Irena and Rose were nursing Thelma around the clock, but we were able to get out on the occasional trip. It is still early spring for a walk out to the Firth Museum and Tower. On another day, lunch was shared at the Kaimai Cheese Factory. Three sisters with Yvonne.

Surprise at YVR
This afternoon after finishing our packing up of Dutchess and Granny in Vernon, we flew out of Kelowna and were met at the Vancouver Airport by Al, Bea, June and Yvonne. We were looking forward to a chat before boarding our flight to Sydney and on to Auckland.
A surprise awaited us as Yvonne pulled plates and cutlery, then the 'real' surprise an Anniversary Cake to be enjoyed by all of us with teas and coffees. This surely must be a first for an airport send off.
Thanks to all of you for sending us off with such good memories.

Dinner for our 40th Anniversary
Our travel plans have changed and we are currently in Vernon putting Dutchess to bed for the winter as we will be flying back to New Zealand on the 2nd August as Kath's Mum is very ill. With a 'Milestone' Anniversary on the 31st we decided on a dinner for 2 at a very pleasant restaurant in Lumby just a half hour drive from Vernon.
Seated outside on a beautiful warm evening with a delicious meal was really enjoyed by both of us.

Reflection in the Gulf Islands
Last fall Brian and Marilyn became the proud owners of a 42 foot Nordic tug in partnership with their daughter and son in law.
In July on a visit to Victoria and Vancouver Island we were so fortunate to have a chance to spend a couple of days away on Reflection with Brian and Marilyn cruising in the Gulf Islands and staying overnight in Montague Provincial Park.
Montague Harbour and the Boston Whaler.
Down in the engine room with a Cummins turbo diesel.
Haven't had a chance for a crab feast for a long time.
