finally boating

June 26 Thursday 2014

Gibsons was a good stop Super Value drove us home with our groceries to the marina. It's a good thing I don't live in Gibsons as I spent a bundle at Swish ( a womens clothing store) I got a whole outfit including shoes. A beautiful sunny day but windy . We went to Grandma's pub for dinner. Left for Center bay and arrived at noon. Sunny and hot had to put the Bimini up. 11 boats here at 5pm and I'm sure more will come. Satalite dish worked great both at Snug cove and Gibsons but we are at the end of a long dock at Center Bay and it moves around too much. Rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. We will see but a I saw a rainbow all around the sun and that indicates a change in the weather.Shannon should be in Naples  Italy now.

. Yes we are finally boating. Bowen Island and Gibsons were a nice change. We took the bus to Sechelt and had a great lunch overlooking the water. Weather has been great. Last night we were up on our command bridge until the sun went down. a beautiful night. I got some library books from Bowen Island one about a dog named Marley by John Grogan I cried and laughed with this one the other was about a blind cat named Homer was entertaining-Homers Odyssey by Gwen Cooper. 

painting up date

we hear from Shannon as it was father's day Sunday. She said the crossing was not too bad as they had a following sea so crossed sooner. They should be in Gibraltar in 2-3 days. We stayed on the boat for the weekend and came home Monday as the weather is not cooperating. Will try again maybe Thursday. I worked on my painting today.
