Today exactly 3 months ago we arrived in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. We were planning on spending Christmas and New Year’s here before moving further south.

It’s now 5 March and we’re still here…

What seemed to be a small engine repair turned out to be a much bigger problem. We had to order parts from the US. They got heavily delayed by the Ottawa trucker protests. And when they finally arrived, a new problem arose. And so on…

On top of that we’re doing the best we can to deal with Lindes whiplash and concussion.

We’ve been in challenging situations before. And just like those times, we’ll face them and take it one step at the time.

Every new day we can count on high tide to come and wipe out plans that were written in the sand. We’ll just have to stay flexible, patient and optimistic.

And in the meantime, we just take as much time as we possibly can to enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds us here.
