August 19 and 20 Thurs Friday 2010 Move to Ekins

Only 3 boats here, nobody we know. Friday we walk to Thunderbird around the corner. Bill has forgotten how steep the hill is to get there. We have a visit with Douh and Bunny Stevens and we also see Roy and Darlene friends we met through Clark and shelia in Desert Hot Springs. Dough and Bunny have been doing a lot of cruises and they really like Oceanna lines. Doug drives us back in his dingy much to Bill's delight. Murial and Laurie have arrived. Only 3 boats again tonight as one left.

REMEMBER-When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

July 12 Monday 2010 Ekins

one boat left at 7am but returned an hour and a half latter saying if was getting far too rough. So we are back to 5 boats. It is very windy with lots of whitecaps. A nature day today we saw an ermine or martin or weasil I do not know the difference. It was a beautiful red colour and of coarse I didn't have my camera. Seagulls ,eagles and even a kingfisher were fun to watch. A family of 5 herons ans of coarse seals

REMEMBER- Envy is a waste of time, you already have all you need.
