Back to Ocean Falls

Image
May 21, 2025  After two weeks spent visiting family, and many shopping trips to stock up on groceries and other items that are more challenging and expensive to get delivered to Ocean Falls, it was time to load up our truck and head back to Ocean Falls.   On Saturday morning, May 10 th , at around 06:30 we left my parents' place in Victoria and drove all the way up the island to Port Hardy.   Then, at around 17:30 we drove onto the ferry and went upstairs to pick our seats.   After the ferry left dock, we went to the cafeteria where we reheated our delicious lasagne dinner with homemade French bread and garlic butter.   It was a delicious meal, and we had a beautiful window view looking out at the passing islands as we made our way northward.   After dinner we inflated our air mattress and tried to get some sleep, but because they had not yet turned the lights down, and of course the environment was totally different, Falcon was wired right up and not ready...

Not an April Fools' Joke

April 1, 2025    The day before our departure from Tenacatita was a sad day.   We had a great morning in at the beach, which included a beach walk, time playing in the lagoon river, swimming, digging holes, surfing, and running around, all of our beach favourites.   During it all, however, was the awareness that it was our last day in the bay that had quite happily become our home for the last three months. That afternoon the pack-up began and Falcon was not shy about voicing his unhappiness with our planned departure.   While we were packing up he repeated “no leave” and “want to come back” many times over.   Although a part of us felt the same way, we were also looking forward to being back in our house in Canada, and I know that Falcon felt the same way as he often talks fondly about things from there and things that we will be doing when we are back there.     Unfortunately, our departure will most likely be the demise of many sea animals tha...

Chimichangas and an Evening Beach Walk

Image
March 7, 2025    One afternoon we checked the weather and spontaneously decided that it would be a good evening to go into La Manzanilla for dinner.   We wanted to go to Mateo’s restaurant for Chimichangas.   Mateo is the person who my Mom and Dad rented their air bnb from in January when they visited with us here, and he had offered at the time to be our contact person and location for getting one of our propane tanks refilled.   One day, about two weeks prior, we had taken our empty tank to him.   The propane tank truck drives around the area most days playing music, like an ice cream truck does, to alert potential customers that it is coming.   One can either call ahead and say that they have an empty tank, or one can flag the truck down when they hear the song.   Mateo had called in advance for us and we waited at his restaurant for the truck to arrive.   We prepaid and the truck took our tank. The next day our tank was returned full to ...
