Canadian Election

We are nearing the date for the Canadian General Election.  I have never taken an election quite as seriously as this one - not because I am more interested in politics than I was previously, but because I see the Country moving further and further to the right.  As we do so, we are giving up what I had taken for granted for so many years.  Whatever happens in this election, God help us.

Back to More Seasonal Weather

We had desiccated to go to Nanaimo for the Labour Day Long Weekend.  Alas, the winds were 33 KNOTS at the sand heads which is the point that the Georgia Strait goes from deep water to shallow.  With flow of tide and current against wind, you can plan on steep short wave seas that is horrendous to blow through.  Knowing what we were failing, and not having a lot of flexibility, we decided that  discretion was the better part of valour and we stayed put.  Just as well as I ended up with th nasty cough and a fever which meant the whole weekend was spent in my bunk.
