The sun is starting to shine and spring is on our mind. Projects are starting to come together as the cockpit once again becomes a viable working space, hatches are flying open to let the fresh air flow in, daydreams of sailing are starting to feel like they will soon become a reality and our urge to explore the outdoors any way we can is undeniable. It's still a bit chilly out, so we donned all our cozy clothes and headed out for an adventure..... on the dingy. It was fabulous, the sun was shining and melting deliciously into our skin, we couldn't help but smile! As we slowly paddled along exploring our marina, it was a fun way to check out everyone's boats, search for treasure on the bottom of the ocean, sneak and creep under the bridges and of course practice our pirate lingo. I can easily see how in a few years (ok, maybe 10), L will be going out on little adventures of his own! We may not have acres and acres of land to offer L like I had growing up, but the water is also vast and full of adventures.

| Can you feel the EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!! |

| Poor kid, I'm amazed I could even zip up his lifejacket with all those clothes on! |

| I think this is the only part of the trip he actually sat down, way to much to see, good thing he's got great balance. |

It does look wonderfully spring like there....we are covered in fog. But it's beautiful still. Hope you guys are well! Logan looks like he loves adventures in the dingy!
ReplyDeleteYes, we are grateful for every ray of sunshine we get, spring can't come soon enough! He's already asking to go out on another boat ride, I can see many afternoons in the future will melt away out there on the water. Only problem is, he keeps asking where the park is while we're out there! I did find a teeny tiny patch of beach which will have to become our new "water park" ! Hope you guys are settling into the new house, new family dynamics, and getting at least a little bit of sleep!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you all are able to get out and around to survey your new neighborhood! We feel the same way here...we may only have a 1/2 acre but we think of the river and the bay as "our" backyard. Some guys have starting putting out a fish net about 300 meters right in front of our place. I feel a little like they've put in right in my back yard...the nerve! The only conciliation is that it's interesting to watch them work their net every day...in good weather and bad.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather stays good and continues to get better!
Hi Lara and family. I just discovered your blog. We are a cruising family of four headed your way. We are in Astoria, OR and plan to spend this winter in Victoria, BC. Would you mind contacting us? I have questions about what marina you are in, how you like it, etc. Much appreciated. Michael
