This is Gross

If you have been following the blog, you know that there is a lot of garbage in the harbour. One of the marinas have their staff go out every day and bring out the garbage that is in their vicinity. Well, yesterday, one of the guys brought a duffle bag. And, when he opened it on the jetty there was a head inside. The police were called but at the end of the day, they still had not shown up. Eventually, one of the guys carted it away to somewhere. They certainly do business differently down here. Wish I had a photo for you, but I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Keep safe everyone.

I love you Ryen!

Time in Review - three of three















Time in Review - two of three

























Time in Review - one of three

As we enter the third year with this vessel, we reflect over the past 2 years and the changes to our lives in that time. We want everyone to know that these past two years have been huge in our lives and the transition of both our life paths has been pivotal.

We blog about the everyday events and the things that are immediate and in the forefront of the moment and in reviewing our words sometimes it sounds like times are all rough and distressed. Gear breakdowns, bruises, stubbed toes, missed family, rough seas and weather have been discussion points and frustrating in their moments.

What Jean and I realize however, as we review and share this photo essay of the past 2 years with you, is that it has mostly been a realization and bonding of our spirits far beyond the day to day. As we witnessed the power of the sea and the majesty of the places we have been, with the sun, rain, change, travel, tears, smiles, laughs and giggles contributing, our personal growth both as individuals and together has been enormous.

I traveled and voyaged for many years alone and now I have found having someone I love with me to share every moment is outstanding. That moment of world and self discovery sparkling in her eyes completes me and bonds us at that level those who have been there understand and already know.

Reflecting on this part of our lives, our time we feel has been very well spent. We smile again and again as we notice the smiles, love and joy on our faces captured by these few snapshots. We highly recommend living your dreams as it does fulfill your spirit.

We would so like to thank everyone who participated in, promoted and allowed us to achieve this in our lives and those who still help and enable us to continue to live our dreams. We hope your lives are blessed and that you enjoy the next group of photos of time in review as year 3 of our voyage continues...
