10/365 (April 11, 2011) – When I travel I don’t bring back normal ticky-tacky touristy crap.

Day 145 – Ironic!

145/365 (May 25, 2010) – I went down to the USA today to pick up a few parcels in Blaine. Unfortunately, when I got there, I was too early and the shipping company wasn’t open yet. So I drove down to Bellingham and went shopping. Didn’t really buy much of anything, but when I wandered through a strip mall I…

Day 98 – Time and Space

98/365 (April 8, 2010) – Time and space, I wish I could manipulate both. I’d dive straight through this computer monitor and swim right back to that boat and continue sailing in the Mediterranean. Ah, what a great trip that was…… For the next few years I will have to content myself to dreaming about the Turkish Coast and planning…

Day 89 – I Miss the Mediterranean

89/365 (March 30, 2010) I miss Greece, I could happily go back right now. Sometimes I wish I could figure out how to make a living there so I could stay there permanently. I could be happy sailing on the heels of Odysseus indefinitely.

I can’t remember the last time the border guards sent us inside to pay taxes…

Day 64 – Almost Home

34/365 (March 5, 2010) – Almost home. Ontario was great, seeing a friend was wonderful. But there is no sight I appreciate more than the sight of the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Yes, I also love the interior Rockies, but these mountains…they mean home. Even if they do also represent dormant volcanoes.

Day 63 – Ice, Ice, Baby!

63/365 (March 4, 2010) – OK, now this was really cool! We spent the day exploring the area surrounding Thunder Bay and found a conservation site. And at said location, a ice sailboat race was underway. Yes, that was cool, but the massive chunks of ice thrust up agains the shore…now that was way cooler! Back home (Northern BC) the…

Day 62 – A New Day in Thunder Bay

62/365 (March 3, 2010) – Sunrise. The time of day when the world just seems to stretch and rub it’s eyes. I love this time of day because it is peaceful and seems to be holding its breath before the chaos of the day unfolds. The thing is, I never seem to witness my favourite time of day unless I…
