Today, for the first time the Sailing Yacht StrangeWaves was under way and under sail. On a somewhat sunny mid-day breeze we hoisted the main and the jib and set out on various points of sail in Esquimalt Harbour. We spent about an hour and a half shaking down our drills and knocking over...

The Snow Day
From 2012 – Early This past week saw a fairly major (for Victoria) dumping of snow, and a snow day was declared closing the local schools. We took the time to get a new sled in the form of a Noma SnowMoto, which is pretty much the new version of the venerable GT Snowracer...
Everyone is Home
It has been a long time, but everyone is now home in Victoria and enjoying the lovely weather that we are having here. Christa and Heidi met Chris at the airport and everyone was quite happy. We are all glad to be together again and are just enjoying some time together as a family....

The Tree is Up
The other day we had Ellen and Corinne over for supper and tree decorating. Some pretty good times with the girls in Victoria! We had some high priced help with the decorating and Heidi got to see the Christmas tree choo choo train! It was a lot of fun. Heidi is really getting into...
Christa is a Teacher
We are all together in Nanaimo for the last time in a while. Christa has finished her education programme completely. She will be going to her convocation ceremony on Friday. Heidi is enjoying her last few days with her Day Care friends as well. It will be sad to separate her from the good...
