Life is too short

Just found out that one of our boating friends passed on while on his trip of a lifetime in Grenada.

His wife is a very brave lady, a great writer and is carrying on the boating tradition at least until she gets back to Vancouver. My prayers are with her.

I often wonder how I would do without my cruising buddies - Howard and Buster.

Very sad end to a very adventurous wonderful trip.

It puts things into perspective for me. We are struggling to get our boat off the hard and in the water as it quickly drains out bank account but we have many blessings

1. we still hve a bank account to drain!
2. Our boat will be in the water and we will cruise again
3. we are both healthy and ready to go

So, I will quit worrying and whining about the boat, enjoy my time now in Victoria and be grateful that Howard is working hard to get things done!
