Farewell to Port Harvey

Dusk in Port Harvey

A short jaunt down Johnson Strait, we stopped into see our friends at Port Harvey. They have faired well so far this summer and we wish them every bit of success for whats left in this glorious summer!

We did something we normally don't have time for and that is to stay for 2 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed not cooking, lazing around on the boat and meeting some of the other boaters. Too often, we have just enough time to wolf down some fabulous pizza at the "Red Shoe" and we're off somewhere on a schedule. Well, since the kids changed their vacation time by one week (for good reason)we were in no rush to head back to Vancouver.

See you again next year or at the Boat Show!

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.
