Shearwater to Idol Point

View from our bay at Sunset!

After listening to whale sounds this morning, we came across two Killer Whales just to the entrance to Shearwater. Coincidence? Perhaps. First time we have seen them in years up here.

Shearwater is full up for another day, but we manage to get some dock space to run up get Beer, do laundry and load up on anything fresh they still have in the store....slim pickings today! We have done as much internet as we can in a short period of time.

Signing off for now and hopefully when I next check in, I can upload photographs...got some beauts! Signing in about a week.

Happy birthday tomorrow to both Shannon and Dorothy! Hope you ladies have a killer birthday and we shall talk to you all soon.

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 27 years and we are the second owner. We are a self sufficient cruising machine with all the trappings of home. Mike and I are retired now 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 (Bob).

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 our son and friends 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 25 plus years hanging out in the Central to North Coast.
