Summer's here.....

Canada Day has been and gone, and our friends in the US are celebrating Independence Day today.  We miss you all.

We've been having lots of fun, and spending plenty of time out at anchor.  We met friends from another marina in Port Rawson Bay over the Canada Day weekend before they head to the north channel for their vacation.



It's always a chore to get the raft set just right!!!

We spotted this family of red necked grebes while out for a ride in the dinghy.  Mum would make a short dive, then all the little babies (we counted 10!) would scurry to catch up as she surfaced.  We watched and laughed for about 10 minutes.



Michael and I are now on our own again, in a place that we call Wildberry Bay.  We went exploring this afternoon, and spotted this family of loons.



We got back to the mother ship in time for afternoon cocktails in the sun.  It got quite warm in the sun, and we decided to go for a swim before dinner.  As I swung my leg over the transom to get onto the swim platform, I noticed a stowaway....one that make my poor little heart skip a beat.



He had found an nice quiet spot in the sun, and my yelling disturbed him enough to force him back into the water.  Deciding that he was more afraid of us than we of him, we still went for a swim.  But just a quick one!
