Diving on the Rhone and dodging the rain!
Today was a big start, it was the first dive as a certified diver. for Rachel and Taylor and we went big, we went to visit the Rhone! A squall came through as we got there, after it passed the waters were flat calm, the visibility was amazing, so off we went, what a fabulous dive.......
Here they are in action
The visibility was amazing
apparently we both have our tongues sticking out Kerry
After the Rhone we set sail for the Baths, great sail over, sunshine now back out Hurrah!
The group spent all afternoon at the Baths, they had a great time there exploring. A cruise took us to our night anchorage, up to North Sound, suprisingly busy as Bitter End is all closed up, mainly kids club boats though

Checking in from Vancouver Island
Finally found the pictures from my uneventful trip by ferry down from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy. This is supposed to be a lovely view, but not when it is socked in and raining all day long! This is the best picture I took on the entire trip.
Most of the 16 hours or so, we did this...Nap, and when we weren't napping we were wiping the condensation away from the window to see something or eating!
There was a great picture in the room though of houses tumbling into the sea.
We decided to stop down in Telegraph Cove, and I took the opportunity to take some pictures
They were very pretty, on these old logging roads. I could have driven there for a week, and we promised to come back next summer when we were at the beginning of vacation instead of at the end where we just wanted to get home!
Loved seeing all the logs in the water.
And this is Telegraph Cove. Lots of sea kayakers around and it looks like it is going to be turned into an upscale little place, complete, like everything else on Vancouver Island, with condos!
We enjoy our walk around here though. Next time we will rent a boat and go out exploring for bear. (No moose on the island, sorry Bazza!)
There were lots of starfish in the water.
And this old train that was quite picturesque. Loving taking pictures. Really missed having my zoom lens which is in the shop for repair, the 18 to 70 mm is just not cutting it!
We sent Christopher home on the plane SUnday night, it was a good visit.
I don't know why I was sticking out my tongue! It was my parents 49th anniversary so we had a big night. We went to Swiss Chalet for dinner and then to see Mamma Mia, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. It was very good!
Bazzas toy, according to my mother, has lights, motors that drive blades, and a joy stick that makes it all happen. Ahhem. Her words not mine!
I have been jealous of Richies pictures lately, and cannot wait to get in the water again. I have however, been able to practice on my photoshop and aperture skills, this is the picture of the seahorse he put up last week and I played around with it. It turned out pretty good I think!
I was sent this PDF today, it is called "How to get a boat off the beach in the Bahamas" Look at it, and you will probably shake your head as much as I have and wonder about the history behind it!
