We managed to spend nearly the entire summer of 2007 out on the boat. Terri sold her house in Nanaimo at the end of May, and after Devon finished school we all headed out for the summer.
One massive change is that "we" now includes not only Scott, Terri and Devon but also Kara Lou:
Having a cat onboard was mostly fun, although there were a few tense moments. She only went missing twice, but that was about 2 times too many. She certainly did find things to occupy her time though:
Of course it was not all cats, we did manage to get some cruising in. We started off in Nanaimo, and headed down to Victoria where were we joined by Devon's friend Ngozi.
We then headed over to Vancouver, where we anchored in False Creek. It was pretty surreal, there we were on the boat, anchored right in the middle of a busy urban neighbourhood. Terri's brother Bob, his partner Teresa, and Terri's friend Tracy come over and visited, and we managed to take Seka out to the final night of the fireworks festival. It was awesome:
Of course, there were some rough moments as well. The aft deck was a bit light, both Terri and Scott were called into service to keep things in place:
For the first time we went up through Seymor Narrows and then up to the Broughton Archipeligo:
