Travel Back to British Columbia

March 23-25, 2023
On March 23rd we traveled by cab/private car to Hermosillo.  Over the previous week, we had become good friends with the woman who worked in the marina office.  She had a nine-month old daughter, and the woman absolutely loved getting to hang out with Falcon.  We stopped in to see her most days.  She had kindly arranged for someone she knew to drive us from Guaymas to Hermosillo.  So, we thankfully avoided the hassles of catching a bus, and we enjoyed the scenic drive and ease of getting dropped off at our hotel.  
Our hotel was not as relaxing as we had hoped it would be, as it turned out to be quite noisy both in the daytime and all through the night. 
Nonetheless, after being in the boat on the hard with no running water, we relished being in a large, open living space and having hot showers.  
After the busyness of prepping the boat for hibernation, we enjoyed our last day in Mexico by going out for a walk to explore the area, where we saw some lovely flowers and large orange trees.  

Then early in the morning on Saturday, March 25th, we caught an uber to the airport and began our 24 hours of travel before we would arrive in Kelowna, British Columbia on Sunday morning. 
We had four flights in that time period, and also seven hours at a hotel in Edmonton. 

Falcon did amazing; he was such a good traveler.  On the first flight we could tell that he was a bit nervous with all of the sounds of take-off and landing, but after that first flight the other ones didn't seem to bother him at all.

    What a handsome lad you have! Sounds like a grueling flight scenario, glad Falcon has become a good traveler. Welcome home.

    Falcon is such a cool kid (with gorgeous blue eyes!) I don't think anything could upset him. For a child so young he's lived quite the life!

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.

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....

First Things First

November 25, 2024  Our first priority in La Paz was to order our new solar panels.   We had priced them out and sourced them at different locations before getting here, but we were unable to pre-order them before going into the store to pay for them.   Once they were ordered we focused on other things on our to do list, which included getting Falcon to the beachside playground.   He did so well on the slides, and got to go on a "big kid" swing for the first time, and he loves to swing.   We also went for several walks around areas that we knew from the last time that we were here.   One of these included a walk past the Airbnb where Falcon was born.   Almost everyday we visited the El Magote beach, which we knew so well from many long walks previously.
