We celebrated being in the Straits of Georgia, in Long Bay on Jedediah Island, seemingly in a world of our own as the silence of the water in our anchorage and the snow capped mountain peaks around us was deafening.
We celebrated news today of Stephen's acceptance into the Air Force Reserve and said loud prayers for his safety. We are thrilled and excited about this new chapter in his and Candace's life together... such adventure!
Simultaneously, 19 hours ahead of us, Don was celebrating his 70th birthday in New Zealand. It was wonderful to hear his familiar voice and smile as he admonished "The Thief" (Nev) once more for stealing his dinghy in Mexico!
Deep Bay was Nev's first stop after Nanaimo when he and the boys went to Alaska on BLUE in 2007. It was filled with 4 boats when we got there which was disappointing. We moved on to Long Bay, an undocumented anchorage that had us on our toes as we anchored in a really narrow spot and did our first dual stern tie and anchor successfully!
We hiked together over the island and then Nev went fishing while I made curry - I should've known he'd come back with scrummy dinner - a lingcod!!
