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

It really is a storm isn’t it, this cursed virus that has descended on the world? No wonder words that describe it are storm related....tsunami .....the next wave...dark clouds ahead..the surge....hunkering down. I actually much prefer the storm analogy to the war...

ROAD TRIP and a SHOW
The following is the story of our recent road trip to Bear River, Nova Scotia... This is the amazing 150 year old captain’s house with a sprawling 5000 square feet of beauty, antiques and charm where we stayed. I had booked the two guest rooms well in advance for us...
