vacation isn’t complete without skin diving
... I am usually accident prone and seriously this whole cruise thing was going much too smoothly for my taste apparently. We pull up to Campbell River entrance, R Time walkie-talkies us to say they are going to fuel up and then radio in to get us slips. We ...
The wild thing
No, no, folks, the title is not referring to me, but to Vancouver Island. The last few days I explored this island which doesn't really have this island feeling as it is pretty big. There are still uncountable places for me left to come again. My start ...
Last day at sea.
