What we've been up to these last three years

Misty Morning in Desolation Sound

Manson's Landing

Humpbacks frolicking outside Heriot Bay

Sunset in the "Riviera"

Boating with Family and Friends

Shaman II in Laura Cove

Orca viewed from the beach

Steller's Sea Lions out front

Enjoying a fire at Bean's Beach

Palm Beach - Powell Riviera

We haven't gone far these last four years (Mike's four surgeries in four years),nonetheless, the vistas have still been spectacular. Not going north has been missed, however, I console myself that boating close to home is a good reminder of why we moved to the "Riviera" (Powell River)

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.
