Saturday April 28- Today is moving day. We put the RV in storage and go live on the boat. Time went too fast here as I never got to hike around Burnaby Lake like I planned. Really did not do hardly any walking here, maybe because it rained too much. Sure was disappointed. I did get to an art meeting that had Robert Ginn as a quest speakers . A famous BC painter. The weather is cooperating today first sunny day for awhile. Sherri and Gerry came back from Hawaii they had a good time, ( 2 weeks). I walked the West Vancouver sea wall from Park Royal to the Pier.

Saturday April 21 Today is safety weekend. All boats in BYC have to have their boats inspected by the coast guard. Everyone gets their fire extinguishers checked and flairs checked for expirery dates. Regestration papers are checked and life jackets are checked. It is our first social time. They have a swap meet in the parking lot. They served BBQ chicken for lunch. We catch up on what people did for the winter and what they are going to do for the summer

Our boar up on the tidal grid

Sherri and Gerry are off to Hawaii for 2 weeks they flew over and are picking up a cruise ship around the Islands then flying back to Vancouver 25 April. Shannon and Ethan are in Vancouver so are staying at Sherri’s place .We take them to the airport Thursday to fly back to LA. And back to work. They flew to Florida and picked up his truck and drove to Virginia and Louisiana, and also stopped at Mesa Verdi and Moab to do some biking. They are leaving the truck in Vancouver and will pick it up in the Fall, after they do the Alaska charters this summer. Ethan got sick while here. He had fluid on his lungs. He had a cat scan nothing showed up. He was given pain killers and allowed to fly to LA.
We take the boat up on the tidal grid to have the bottom inspected and painted. We were up at 530am to catch high tide. Everything is done in one day-out and back into the shed. The weather thankfully cooperated. We are getting ready to move the RV in storage so I have been busy scanning photos to put onto a CD. A very slow process as I am typing titles etc.

who is taking who for a walk?

April- Burnaby Cariboo RV park-I think it’s time to report. We are very busy getting our doctors appointments, blood test etc. Results are now in . Everything is fine. Now we can go ahead and pay for our Australia trip as 6 people dropped out and are booking for next year so we moved up the line. We leave for LA Sept 23-Nov2 . We are enjoying renewing time with our Vancouver people. I have started my painting classes every Wednesday in New Westminster. Bill is getting the boat ready for Safety weekend April 20-22. I tried walking dogs at the Burnaby SPCA. What a time. I only go when it’s not raining. Bill only got one summery for our winter- we traveled 8,925 miles and we spent 2,003 on fuel.
