Five Years and The Honeymoon Sail Continues

Five years ago we married each other on this beach ...where does the time go?



We celebrated by going out for lunch at The Red Pump in Bayfield.



We enjoyed the back yard at The Red Pump while waiting for our lunch.




We returned to the cottage to continue our celebration with a wee bottle of champagne.

Where is the Crew of Celebrian Now?

It was wonderful to fly direct from Grenada to Toronto with Caribbean Air.

We left Celebrian in her usual storage state which looks chaotic but is actually very well organized. We had spent the last week cleaning lockers and taking inventory and once on the hard things are cluttered but stored safely. We left nothing on deck that we could put below after losing our depth sounder to Hurricane Irene last year in The Bahamas. During the last couple of days on the hard all systems have to be "summerized" as apposed to "winterized" in our climate. we are paying a local company to come on board once a month to pump the bilge, check the boat and plug in the batteries. Spice Island Marine Services provides no other service than storage.
The captain and admiral on a sleepover....where are they now?
....having coffe in their new/old (1998 with 150,000kms) Dodge Road Trek Land Yacht!
A neighbour was selling this used Road Trek when we got home from Grenada. We took it for a test drive pulling Free Spirit, the 24 foot Sea Ward and before we knew it we were the new owners. The van is in fantastic shape and immaculate so we are delighted and ready to head north to Killarney in the middle of August for our little mini holiday in the North Channel. The honeymoon sail continues in the north as well as The Caribbean.
