ok. mixed reviews.
happy cause i just got back from a fucking AWESOME lecture given by a friend of my grandfathers down at CYC. He spoke and showed slides of circumnavigating vancouver island. (300 miles long, over 2000 miles of coastline, largest island on the west coast.) He showed pictures from a trip he and his wife took in 2000 to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversy, as well as pictures of sailing it in 1971. the cast of characters included three of his children in young and old views, bears, and old norweigan guy named russell who could fix any boat. a couple stories about running aground. some veiled references to a poem entitled "daring dick and the dangling dinghy" (his name was dick, the poem was written after him) and stories of old, old but lovely sealions. It was great to see my grandparents in their element. I love my grandparents in big ways.
