As you may have noticed, the blog has been dormant for a while. As usual, life gets in the way. Between boat projects, visiting Calgary, adopting another dog and keeping our YouTube channel up to date, we simply ran out of hours in the day. The off season was dedicated to never ending boat projects:Continue reading “We’re Back!”

Liveaboard Life
Life update – we’re full time liveaboards now! When we first got Eudora, we put our name down on waitlists for most of the marinas on the west coast of BC. We knew it could be a long wait to get permanent moorage, but we were pleasantly surprised to get a call from Van IsleContinue reading “Liveaboard Life”
Weekend at Clementine
2023 is off to a great start! As per usual I’m weeks behind making blog posts. As an accountant I’ve had lots of year-end work to keep me busy, and we also went to Mexico for vacation. We are working on the logistics of moving from Vancouver to Sidney. We’ve gone from our house inContinue reading “Weekend at Clementine”
2022 Wrap Up
New Year’s Eve is here! We’ve enjoyed a week away from the dock. Our first stop was in Howe Sound, where we did some crabbing and hiking, and now we are in Bedwell Bay, relaxing away the last few days of the year. This fall absolutely flew by, I’ll share some of the highlights. WeContinue reading “2022 Wrap Up”
Reflections on our First Year
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been boat people for a year already. This time last year we were boxing up our possessions and organizing movers, cleaners, house showings and goodness knows what else. I’m thankful the stress and anxiety of the move is behind us. Through the process of re-establishing our lives in aContinue reading “Reflections on our First Year”
Visit to the Gulf Islands – July 2022
It’s been a gorgeous summer so far, our first spent here on the West Coast. This week, it’s a sweltering 32 degrees each day. We’ve given up on the apartment for the week. It gets too stuffy, and the balcony is in the full sun in the afternoons, so there’s no escaping the heat. Instead,Continue reading “Visit to the Gulf Islands – July 2022”
May
Better late than never, I guess? I have the best intentions to keep the blog updated, but as always, time just flies. May was a wonderful month for us. The highlight by far was the Nordhavn Owners Rendezvous 2022 held in Victoria, BC. We also spent our first two nights at anchor, which made usContinue reading “May”
April
We’re sitting on our boat this lovely Sunday morning, enjoying tea, coffee, sunshine, and the company of our animals. This is what the grind is all for, I think. This past month was a busy one! At the start of April. we splurged on all the cleaning supplies we might ever need, and spent aContinue reading “April”
March
It feels like I say this every time…where did the time go? March is already over, welcome April! My sister and brother in-law came to visit in early March. We took them on a boat ride, of course. We left the dock early in the morning, and there was thick fog hanging over the water.Continue reading “March”
February is Almost Over?!
Time sure is flying by. Spring is coming to Vancouver, I’ve spotted flowers in bloom, and gardeners are starting to prune and trim and prep the garden beds. Being a Calgarian, I’m used to hard crusty snow sticking to the ground until March, and flowers blooming in May. I am thoroughly enjoying the spring feeling,Continue reading “February is Almost Over?!”
