home coming

Back to Cow Bay…

Just for a few days… to sleep on my Futon mattress in the spacious V-berth of “The Escape”…Summer is here, lots to do and places to go to…

Gathering experience…

…may I never graduate…

…and stay forever young…

It must have been the sunny weather that got me so active last week.  , it was quite a restless I spend only one night next to Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal. quite noisy (even so I was in quiet waters). The convenience of having a bus stop for an Express going right downtown Victoria compensated a little for all the noise from loading the Sea-span ferry., but after a day in the city and a night next to the terminal I left first thing in the morning.

Sidney was my next stop since I was shopping for a new main sail. Here I was to meet Dan, who thought he might just have a fitting sail for the Puffin. As it turned out, Dan came through and his sail was a perfect fit…

So the two of us sailed despite a weather warning of strong winds with an outgoing tide, …

about you, a space to introduce yourself and voice your opinion

“Out of sight of land the sailor feels safe. It is the beach that worries him.”                                      Charles G. David

Mike T. on his “Blue Eagle”.

An artist from Salt Spring Island he loves to carve (from small to tall).

Besides being an avid sailor, he studies and plays the fiddle.

A sunny day in January between Maple Bay (Vancouver Island) and Burgoyne Bay (Salt Spring Island), a pleasant day cruise.

Mike has a lot of stories to share, about the good, the bad and the ugly…    life on the water.

“Only two sailors, in my experience, never ran aground. One never left port and the other was an atrocious liar.”                                 Don Bamford

Absolute Madness,…or just another small side effect of “21scentury schizoid man”

I watched a documentary about some people having a relationship on Facebook. They created a complex world on the computer. Once confronted with the real world it turned out to be a long and confused story, containing a lot of lies and fabrications only to create a deceitful image and/or a different identity. Are some people living such boring and dissatisfied existence that they have to re-invent their life’s? Pretty sad I say. This new media and social networking seems to be the breeding ground for misrepresentation and deceive. No wonder I was always a little sceptical and shy in front of the computer where one can’t separate the truth from fiction anymore.

 

A new blog and a new post about an old love of mine.

• fun on the water
• with music and a natural mystic floating through the air
• …we sail back into the ages.
• With the air blowing through your hair
• You too, may experience the magic.

•                                                

New format…    new style…

   adventure…      about living on the water…

 about the thrill of sailing…  

 about exploring the Gulf Islands and the Salish Sea…

  …helping one another and working together…

environmental issues

and about you,

to get involved, to share and

                                                    if you never been to sea,

here is your chance to get experienced,

you might just love it.

If to be poor and content is to be rich,

I still got a long road ahead of me.

This blog is to be a combination of creative writing, a diary or log-book, communicating with friends, advertising the pleasure of sailing, sharing interesting information and creating a platform to connect with likeminded people. It works best with feedback.
