Meet Dr. John.
He has been tied up in front of us for the last five years here at Shelter Island Marina. Before we arrived, he had been here for 25 years. He is a retired obstetrician. He would spend his summer sailing with his son Chris around Vancouver Island and beyond. They had also sailed the Pacific leaving from Vancouver, sailing down to Cabo San Lucas, then over to the Marquesas, Tahiti, Bora-Bora, on to Hawaii then back home.
John is leaving us and heading off to Snug Cove and the Union Steamship Company Marina at Bowen Island. It's a great spot and we wish him well (and will drop by at some point).
Live aboard communities can be quite tight and we know we will be missing John a lot. It will take some getting used to not having Tjaldur (the name of his boat - the national bird of the Faroe Islands) tied up in front of us.
