SPRING BREAK
Well! If the kids can have their spring break than so can we...even if it was just an over-nighter. An offer to join friends at a cabin right on the ocean’s edge was far too good to decline. There’s still the dreaded virus among us but our friends are part of our...
SPRINGING FORWARD
“The earth has music for those who listen” March is here. One of my favourite months. When winter is less wintery. When things planted last year begin to poke boldly through the still cold ground. If they can be so optimistic then for sure so can I. After all, the...
The DEPTH of WINTER
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”~ Albert Camus I got to thinking that I should post pictures of snow for you, at the same time bring you all up to date. We brag to friends and family from away,...
CHRISTMAS by the SEA – 2020 style
Welcome folks from away. So glad you stopped by for an update. This will be our fourth Christmas at RED by the Sea! Already! How is it possible that time has flown by so quickly? Yes we are busy old retirees. At least one of us would insist not old at all. We’ll...
NEW CHAPTER – NEW IDENTITY
While we’re waiting for our RV - RED II - to be born and while we are working on developing our next chapter, I thought I’d send along an update of what’s happening in our little world by the sea. Basically...not a lot. Haha! Just bits and pieces but those bits and...
VACATION with a PURPOSE
Hi there sailing RED folks. Glad you dropped by because we have some news. You know by now our dear R.E.D. has been sold (story here, here and here if you missed it) and is living very happily with a lovely family in the Yukon. At present she has been put to bed for...
R.E.D.’s JOURNEY HOME- to the land of the midnight sun
I’ve taken a long time to write up this post and I’m not entirely sure why. Too busy? Maybe. Too much missing our R.E.D.? Of course, but what I really miss is sailing. Heart-breaking missing sailing. So maybe that’s it. We’ll go with that for now. What I am so...
THE END OF AN ERA – part 2
“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” – William James How he found us, we may never be entirely sure. A true mystery if there ever was one. Vibes in the universe? Some sort of transfer of energy? It’s just basic physics...
THE END OF AN ERA
Well folks, this may be one of the most difficult posts I’ve had to write....so if you will indulge me I’ll just tear off the bandage. Our lovely RED is for sale. Yes, you read that correctly...FOR SALE! We’ve both known for a while that this was coming...each...
