10 year reunion tour has commenced! I, Kassia, am a little grayer. Ellie is a lot taller. All four of us are, of course, 10 years wiser and exponentially funnier. Some things, however, have not changed. Routine game night is full of laughter. Watching passing scenery and pointing out breathtakingly beautiful nature moments remains a favorite pastime. The collective genius brainstorming the next art piece of culinary delights continues to impress and leave everyone feeling sated and content. Life is lovely in a boat with loved ones in Canada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s great to be back on the boat in salty water! After busy months full of working, I’m relishing the downtime that cruising entails. I can’t ask for a better excuse to cozy up with a good book and a morning scone, and watch the mountains pass by. After long days on the water, I’m antsy to get out and stretch my legs. Hiking through moss covered forests, jumping in crystal clear waters, or kayaking at sunset is the perfect way to cap off the days up here. After spying some tempting cliffs as we sailed into Doctor Bay, Papa and I motored over in the dinghy and I got do some rock climbing over deep water. The rock was great and it felt great to stretch my climbing muscles, although there are far fewer barnacles in the gyms where I usually climb \ud83d\ude42 Looking forward to another week full of adventures in this beautiful place!! -Ellie <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is so much fun having our daughters here to share our adventures. They bring a new energy and focus to the trip that is like a breath of fresh air (even though we have LOTS of fresh air up here). On this section of the trip, we have seen whales and different birds and even had a blue heron land on our forward deck as we were playing cards. We all had huge eyes as we got such a close up look of him. I started to take a picture of him but the movement scared him away. So many unique adventures with birds on our boat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we head south towards Desolation Sound, there are more and more boats everyday. Some anchorages and docks are so full we can’t even get in the harbor. We are so thankful for all the amazing adventures and people we have encountered so far and look forward to even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
