Riding on the bow during big waves is like a roller coaster.
First we attached a pully and a tube for a seat
then I climbed on and went!
I went white water rafting and swimming in the tidal rapids at Squirrel Cove. (Mum's note - the cove has a tidal lagoon that fills at high tide making for some fun rapids.)
We paddled down and swam down.
When we got cold we went back to the boat for hot chocolate.
Please tell me if you like reading my blog and let me know if you have any questions about my life on the boat with my mum, dad and Charlie the cat. I like knowing that someone reads what I write.
When you live on a boat, sometimes the bakeries float
Cinnamon buns for sailors
So very yummy!
Here I am fossiling on the Puntledge River in Courtenay. It's fun but very dusty.
Here's a tooth that belonged to a shark 80-million-years ago. I don't want to meet him.
To find a fossil you need to bang at the rock and then pick-up each piece and look at it. Fossils are old animals that were squished under lots of mud.
This is an ammonite.
When we first began planning this trip with Maia there were images I held in my mind.
I saw us having many adventures together, but the ones I most looked forward to were the ones I witnessed, from a distance as a spectator.
I don't really know what she thought or felt when she encoutered the seals, but I can recall my own explorations - my own encounters. And I can imagine.
