A Great Couple of Days

While I have been in Campbell River — due to my unexpected propeller issue — I have

Melanie Cove, Desolation Sound

had a great couple of days.  Monday was a bit of a write off while I waited to be hauled out but Tuesday and today were wonderful. 

Tuesday, Leanne and Gracie came up looking for school shoes for Gracie.  We shopped and shopped.  She tried on several pairs and was not loving any of them.  I, on the other hand, found a pair of Merril’s in just my size on sale.  I scooped them up since I know they will be perfect for my trip to Ecuador, the Galapagos, and fingers crossed for Peru. 

Looking into Prideaux Haven.  

Today, Meghan and Aibhlin came for a visit.  We went for a great two-hour walk this morning before meeting my Aunty Linda at her hairdressing salon for a much needed trim.  Then Meghan, Aibhlin, Aunty Linda and cousin Natalia went for a Thai lunch. 

It was fun to get together with friends and family on this unexpected stop-over in Campbell River.

You never know what you will find in a book store.

Tomorrow I plan to head to the Copeland Islands and anchor there for a couple of days.  I have some friends, Len and Giselle on Did It, making their way toward Desolation Sound and it would be wonderful to buddy boat with them for a few days. 

The weather has been cool winds in the morning with very warm temperatures in the afternoon.  I believe Mother Nature is setting us up for a super comfortable September!
