Tuesday July 23 Port Harvey to Shawl Bay

Morning view at Port Harvey - stellar weather day ahead. Once I can get capt dumb ass out of bed - we will probably be cruising to our next destination - Shawl Bay for @ 5 hours. Will check in tonite with today's events.

5:00 pm - We are now at Shawl Bay and the weather is smokin' hot! Crab trap and Prawn traps have been dropped and now to business at hand! Mike has gone off to see if he can quieten down the generator......what a noise. Must be open season on Generators up here....just about everyone up here (as in the resorts/marinas) has had generator problems. Guess I can try and drown my sorrows with a Lemon Drop Martini! Might as well before the lemons go off :)

Below is my first attempt at videoing some of the things we see while travelling. A Videographer I am not, but with time, I am sure it will get better. They are just short clips and I hope they can make you feel like you are here with us! :0

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.
