Canada

I’ve winterized the boat, and flown to the wet coast of Canada; Vancouver and Gibsons. The weather is spectacular: a series of storms that have dumped a great deal of rain, but yesterday afternoon, the lull between storms was sunny (and warm- +14 degrees C). Rain again all day today (+50mm), but still warm. Not so bad for mid December!

I’m staying for a few days in Gibsons, which is a ferry ride across Howe Sound, from Vancouver, Small town Canada, and getting used to driving on the Right of the roads again. Then, back to Vancouver to do the rounds there, visiting as many of my friends as possible. I do have a Canadian phone number, and my British number is moribund until my return there. Make a comment of send an email if you want the Canadian number.

Christmas will be in Alberta, and I’ll have some tales of the adventure to get there. Watch this space for photos of Canadian winter (if I find any…).

Enjoying time with my daughter…
