Wow! The blog counter
has jumped significantly since the whale incident last Friday with almost 1,000
hits in only a few days. Thanks for all
the feedback. It’s great to share
adventures and I just love hearing from other people about their stories and
adventures.
I’m going to end this summer’s blog with a listing of a few
of my favorite postings from our Vancouver Island circumnavigation as well as
the Alaska trip. So, if you haven’t been
following my blog and just want to hit a few highlights (or lowlights), these
are the pages I suggest you visit:

This is the incident where we were on the beach watching in terror as a whale lunged up right in front of our boat with the anchor rode in his mouth and began hauling our boat out to sea. There’s a few amazing pictures and an awesome video of the whole event. I think it’s been the most popular post of the blog so far.

- Attacked by Wolves! Saved by
Pirates! This is our true story about a
pack of wolves that pursued us and we were saved by the most unlikeliest of
heroes. This story was published in
Pacific Yachting Magazine and Passagemaker.
You’ve got to read it to believe it.

- This is the story of a terribly sad drowning in Campbell River where I was
first on the scene. It’s actually a
lowlight of the blog but interesting none-the-less. I just spoke with the lead investigator
yesterday and he assured me there’s no foul play involved. That made me feel a lot better.

- A 109 lb. halibut about rips my arm off but we emerge victorious. A big fish story, indeed.

- Wow! What a beautiful stretch of God’s
country.

- An account of our amazing day exploring glaciers and experiencing a bear very
close up.

- One of my most favorite anchorages ever.

- Misty fjord’s Punchbowl Cove…an amazing place.
Well, I hope there’s no more exciting and scary things to
blog about this year as we’re only a couple of days away from ending our
boating season. Val’s folks are here so
we might make the short trip to Victoria to spend a night or two and then maybe
a couple of nights in the Gulf or San Juan Islands….pretty docile compared to
Alaska or circumnavigating Vancouver Island.
I hope you’ll send me a note now and again and share your
adventure stories with me. It makes the
off season more tolerable. Take care and
God bless.
