At AERA in Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Don/Nice04/13/2012, Vancouver, BC
Debbie and I took Δ Latitude to Vancouver for the conference of the American Educational Research Association where I had several research studies to give with colleagues. We stopped at a wilderness island, Patos, on the way north. We saw all kinds of beautiful ducks, wintering over in that deserted cove.
In Vancouver, we stayed at beautiful Coal Harbour Marina, right next to the convention centre. Each afternoon, we took friends and colleagues out for a harbour tour, under Lion's Gate Bridge and over to False Bay. I wish every conference of mine was held in Vancouver! It was heaven to do it aboard Δ Latitude!

Glass Museum
12/31/2011, Tacoma
A highlight was spending a few days at a wonderful marina at dock street in Tacoma. Tacoma??? Yep. Don't tell anyone else. The Glass Museum was right at the dock and so was the exceptional Washington State Museum of history. Plus, there were outstanding restaurants nearby. We spent two days to take it all in. Katie is getting us tied up, Bristol fashion, at the marina. Nice work, Kate!

Shrimp!
Don / Warm08/18/2011, Grace Harbour Desolation Sound
We stopped in Grace Harbour in Desolation Sound and I used my shrimp pot puller and shrimp pot to catch these ten delicious spotted shrimp. (Count 'em!) I fixed a shrimp cocktail for the young Brit on Mystic Eagle who helped me catch them. He got up with me at 6:30 am to go out and pull up the pot with me. That makes 11 shrimp so far. Works out to be about $90 a piece. Yikes!
