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.

Haven't had a chance for a crab feast for a long time.

Passing in front of Reflection is a Salt Air Beaver on floats. Salt Air runs a scheduled service in the Gulf Islands and the West Coast.
