Well, the girls and I made the trek back to West Van – did I mention that it was 66 km! No, the boat wasn’t quite ready – more like the boys weren’t quite ready. But after an hour or so we were finally off!
We headed off through a passage between the Islands of the Sunshine Coast and ended up docking at Plumper Cove on Keats Island. What a gorgeous space!
For you land-lubbers, sailing is really just having fun on the boat for a couple of hours (the sailing part), but a lot of Sailing is just like camping – although the trailer (sailboat) is REALLY small! After you dock or moor, you explore your surroundings. That’s the fun part for me…
Living quarters are a wee bit tight…
We ran into other sailors with children, and they needed to explore each others’ boats.

Lots of muscles! Hmm, do mussles have muscles?
A group shot!
Daddy caught a crab with really big pincers!
We tried a different bed for Natasha’s nap – that didn’t last long…

Robynn and I spent some time at the bow taking in the scenery:
Planning our 2015 sailing trip!
We made it back to Sunset Marina!
Dad took off back for Plumper Cove. He sailed around for a couple of weeks waiting for Heather to arrive. Then they sailed with his Calgary sailing group for a bit, and then Dad and SMUM(story in the next part) came to our place for a drier visit.
Stay tuned for the conclusion of our Sailing adventure…

Okay, I did show immense patience in waiting until second #36 to hear about the 2015 trip. Up until then your toes were cute...but, you know, I wanted to hear about 2015!
I was wondering who the other kids were...then I read the caption!
It's like land-locked kids who like to explore other's vehicles!!!
TOO funny!!!!!
