Desolation Sound has been a part of my summers since I was a little girl. The peaks and winding inlets are familiar, often triggering old memories.

anchors aweigh

Time to return to rainy Vancouver. Sailing inTurkey was wonderful. A hundred Thanks to Paikea Mist!

The eternal flames

Crazy Chimaera flames on the Olympic Coast of Turkey. Yep this is fire coming out of the rocks! Oh and this is also where Zeus had his lightening bolts made, so I thought I would put in an order for my own set….

perfect spot

Caver diver

I almost forgot these gems! These were taken in the ‘Blue Grotto’, the most fantastic ocean cave I have seen.
