July 13 - 15th - Shawl Bay

We meander our way up to Shawl Bay to see our old friend Lorne and Shawn and find that they are indeed busy and it has been a good year. We have missed Oceanaire by a day but hope to meet up with them in Turnbull Cove. A grizzly sighting in the bay behind Carol's (the bead lady) floathome and again over in the ditch leading to Moore Bay. The first time they have had this sighting, lots of black bears in the area, but not many grizzly. We have a relaxing time and after a 2 day stay head up to do some fishing in the Deserter Group.

Profiles of who we are

"Shaman II" is a 48' 1973 fiberglass "Gulf Commander". Twin Caterpillar 3116. 500 gal Fuel (Gulp!) and 500 gal fresh water. We have owned her for 20 years and we are the second owner. We are self sufficent cruising machine with all the trappings of home. Mike and I are just over 60 and every chance we get, we "Live the Dream". We have one fabulous son who is the proud owner of his own boat, "Eye Candy"....aptly named after his sweetie, Shannon! Three of the sweetest Grandchildren you could have....Mr. Keaton and Coco (Cohen aka the Pope), and baby Harrison (Prince Harry).

Our first Mate is Miz Ruby the scaredy dog and our Commander in Chief is Mr. George, the wandering cat.

Mike and I have spent our summers for the last 45 years scouring the coast to see all that we can see in every nook and cranny our boat will fit into. The earlier years were spent as any normal boating family would, bringing the kids to desolation sound for 2 weeks of swimming! These days, we spend most of our time mid coast. Three trips to Alaska under our belt and 20 plus years hanging out in the Central to North Coast.
