Back at Anchor in La Paz Harbour

February 1, 2023  

After coming back from being out at anchor at the islands, we settled in to being at anchor again in the La Paz harbour.  We continued to work with the bureaucracy and wait some more in order to get Falcon’s Mexican and Canadian Passports. 

During that time we enjoyed many long beach walks,
some swimming, watching dolphins, foil boarding,
and experiencing the beautiful sunsets of La Paz. 
We had some cooler temperatures with some lows down to 13 degrees at night and some days with highs only up to 18 degrees, but when the sun was out it warmed things up quickly. 
The increased cloudiness gave us some spectacular sunsets, but also some cooler days. 

Since Falcon has become more and more alert and interactive, he has also begun to enjoy the beach more. 
He seems to enjoy having his feet in the sand and in the water, and he will wiggle his toes and stomp his feet. 
He also got to meet his first Pelican one day when we had a very friendly, older pelican swimming around our tender.

    I was just thinking the same thing about how Falcon is growing! Thanks for the photos and the update.

A Fantastic Birthday

Image
September 9th (Wednesday) Our first day off after our 8-day shift, and it was also my birthday.  I enjoyed what felt like a nice long sleep-in as compared to getting up at 05:45 for work, and then Jason gave me my birthday presents and made me a delicious brunch of blueberry pancakes, bacon, and sausages.  Then we were off to the lake.  It was a beautiful, sunny day and glassy calm as we planed our way along the lake.  We went down to the south end to check it out and explore, as we had never been down to that end before.   As the sun got hotter we wanted to enjoy it, and to go swimming, so we headed to our perfect picnic and swimming area of Triple Falls.  There we enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of relaxing and swimming.  The water felt quite a bit cooler than it had the last time that we were there, so our refreshing swims were brief. One time, as I was coming out of the water, I saw a bumblebee struggling on the surface....

Finally Back to the Blog

September 26,  2024 It has been way too long since I have written an update for the blog.   Sorry about that.   Falcon is almost 22 months old, and computer work is a challenging thing to get done with him always wanting to be involved in what I am doing, so needless to say, blog writing has taken a back burner.     Many of you will already know much of what we have been up to over the past year and a bit, but some of you may not, and I thought that either way I would write up some quick summary notes and post some pictures.  Most of the pictures are of Falcon, as he is the love of our lives.    Lucky for us, given that we live in Ocean Falls where it rains a lot, Falcon enjoys being out in the rain.       And he really enjoys climbing into and onto things, perhaps just to see if he can fit.  And, because of his love of climbing, we built him a climbing wall, on which he has gotten quite proficient. Falcon a...

Work Around the Yard

Image
March 28th and 29th (Sunday and Monday) On our way back in from pulling our traps, Jason and I grabbed our electric pressure washer from the boat, which we have as a spare high-pressure pump for our water maker, and Jason decided to clean up our 27 steps.   It had clearly been a long time since anyone had paid any attention to them and they were incredibly moss covered.   Unfortunately, the high-pressure pump, which works perfect for our water maker, turned out to be quite lacking in psi for moss removal.   With persistence, however, Jason got the steps looking like new.   I pulled out the chop saw, air compressor, and nail gun from downstairs and got to work on building some birdhouses.    I wanted to build some birdhouses for the swallows this year, and I had done quite a bit of research into the types of houses that best suited the different types of birds.   It turned out that the wider boards that we get off of the pallets fo...
