Today is the start of a new adventure. I suppose every day is-- but this is a little bit different.
As you see, I haven't made a post in Wren's blog for a few years. I guess we've simply been too busy living life to record it here. And that is good news, because it means that Wren has had good health for these years and has been busy growing into a little rascal. During this time, she has become a terrific cross country skier and fiddle player.
Of course, that is not what this blog is about. Those of you who talk with us regularly will know that we are setting out for a 2 month sailing voyage from Prince Rupert to Union Bay, and back again (There and Back Again, the title is borrowed from Bilbo Baggins).
At present, we are tied securely to the wharf at Rushbrook Harbour, wondering where we are going to stow all of our belongings. Today is a day of preparation, completing our grocery shopping, taking on fuel and water, and perhaps a minor repair. As our sailing mentors Brian and Kathleen have warned, the low risk repairs will keep you on the wharf forever--some things must be fixed under way.
We'll see.
Meanwhile, both Wren and Chloe are thrilled that the salmonberries are ripe.
Access to the internet will be patchy at best, so we will see how often we are able to update the blog. And I've realized that adding photos using this tablet will be a new challenge--therefore, no photos of the girls eating berries, and the cockpit stuffed full of gear.
All aboard!
