a much more relaxing day than the last two have been. We motored over to Roscoe Bay and set the anchor in the entrance to the bay. You can only enter on high tide because there is a drying shoal in the entryway. So while we waited for the tide to ri…

Kayaking Unwin Lake
Last night we had our first prawn dinner and it was every bit as tasty as we remembered. Sure hope we get some more of those delicious morsels. Today was kayak day. We carried our kayaks to Unwin Lake. It is about 1/3 mile each way. It takes both …
Trip to Lund
Jerry was awaked by a very odd sound. He laid there and thought "was that my imagination or did I hear something". It sounded like someone scraping an aluminum boat across the gravel. He laid there for a while longer and heard it a couple …

On The Go Again
The sun was out and the water was flat. We said goodbye to Rich and Mj and Charley and Sara and headed to Canada. We crossed the boarder at 8:35. We had the easiest Customs Clearance ever. The only question was if we had firearms – nothing about f…
