It’s been…. Well relaxing

It wasn’t until we went sailing on Georgia Dawn that we realized sailing could be relaxing. Trickster was always fun, but SOMETHING was always going wrong.
Sailing on Asunto is something else entirely. Every little trip is a mini vacation. We’ve had some great trips in June and early July.
In June we took Kristine’s Australian cousin Tyson, her brother and her brother’s girlfriend to Bowen island. While we hiked the island and ate ice cream, Kolby did the Race Round Bowen. With 100 boats in the race, it was a great starting line. On the way home, Tyson had fun sailing Asunto in 15-20 knot winds out of Howe Sound.

We have also had quiet weekends on Gambier and most recently Keats. We spent the long weekend on Gabriola visiting Kolby’s family before trundling down to Montague Harbour on Galiano. With our nifty new dinghy, we could zoom across to Ganges on Saltspring. Kyber was not too impressed with the trip. At one point he tried to lie down under the seat, but quickly aborted that plan when we hit a wave and he hit the bottom of the seat… We even enjoyed a picnic dinner and watched the sunset. Like I said, relaxing.

Now we are less than a week away from our two week holiday. We are so ready to head north and explore!
