Still Lots of Snow

One More Shawl Sunset

It’s raining.  Pancakes again. Lots of indoor chores to do.  Bought a couple of water colours at Lorne Shantz art show here at Shawl Bay.  Weather cleared.  “Black Tie” here.  Happy hour is always lots of fun.  Dinner on “Ladner Lass”.

Too Close

David's 2010 Jennis Bay Sign

Another beautiful day.  Goodbye Allyson and heading back to Shawl Bay with “Ladner Lass”.  Whale rose right in front of us in the Stuart narrows.  Not sure who was more frightened him or us?  We all sat around and enjoyed the sun.  Les on “Sun Breeze” caught us up on the saga of the Broughtons.  Great dinner on Marko and Jamie’s then we went for a gunk in “Peaire” and had a fabulous whale show right out front.

"Deer Leap"

Very Busy at Jennis Bay

The War Canoe “Welcome” now hangs in the main guest seating area.  Shawn, Loren, Mike and our Gail all going to Pt Hardy.  “Shaman”  “Over the Edge” will start heading south tomorrow morning.  Good prawning in Moore Bay.  Headed for Jennis Bay to meet up with Jamie & Marko and Cajun night. Lots of dolphins dancing for us on the way there.  Jennis is a very busy place, boats are all rafted, and several like us anchored out.  Allyson’s last Cajun Night.  She supplies the Cajun part and everyone brings a side dish. Great time had by all.  David made her a wooden keep and take south with her when she leaves.  Had chats with owners of “Deer Leap”, “Nimpkish” and “Walronda” also here.

Sunset at Shawl Bay

Happy Anniversary.  Another pancake breakfast with more stories.  Its 82 degrees at Shawl Bay.  David’s making a sign and I’m working on Oceanaire’s teak still. It’s a potluck dinner and so very good. Betty, Mike, Bob and Pat arrived.  Good to see them.  Gunked over to Moore Bay for ‘last sun’.  The dogs had a good romp. Another wonderful day. 46 years..Wow!

"Walronda" Built in 1912 & "Surf Scooter" 1929

Turned into a wonderful sunny day. Pancake breakfast. “Walronda” and "Nimpkish" (1944) leaving along with many other boats.  David starting another carving this time a war canoe for Shawl Bay.  Allison, Orion and Charlie came in from Jennis Bay.  They will be leaving Jennis Bay next week to go south.  Had a good visit, but we will truly miss them.  Got some Cetoling done.  Good happy hour.  Trading many great stories exchanged.

Favourite Dock in Napier Bay

Sullivan Bay Looks Busy

Very Busy At Shawl Bay

Overcast, underway with "Nut n’ Special" to Shawl Bay.  Nice trip.  Saw “Sea Wolf” at Sullivan.  It looked like a full house at Sullivan Bay.  Shawl very full too.  Shawn and Loren found us a spot.  Their son Rob isn’t here this summer, but Mike who was here a couple of years ago is back. They have done so much work here.  They could hardly wait to show us.   The fireplace and eating is great.  Large crowd for the great turkey dinner and we enjoyed it with so many old friends.
