a little over cast

Roger and Susie's Travels Well beside many other things Sara and I did our first walk of the year on our local beach which is across the road from our house and a 1/2 block to the entrance road

Boat lic. etc.

Roger and Susie's Travels Today's plans were to go boating and fishing. But I found out that my power squaren boat certificate would not be approved as a small boat operators lic. ($250 fine if caught) so I spent most of the day studying for the exam. Susie and Stuart took Toga (cat) to the vet. Met Susie and Stuart at the annual wood carving completions in Campbell river(beside the veterinarian place).(I took toga back home) Then back to the studies while Susie took Stuart shopping for some clothes etc. Finished studying at 3:00 pm rushed like hell to get to Courtney to take the exam before 4:00 managed to get 33 out of 36 questions right so I passed Now I am a legal boat operator. Stuart and I took in our local stock car racing 5 minute drive from our house (lots of fun good show) forgot camera end of the day wasted.

June 21st to 24th back home

Roger and Susie's Travels Well Peggy and Robin Joined us for few days on the way home we stopped at the famous goat on the roof in Cooms and shopped around. the next day (June 22nd)Robin an I went to golf range and hit a basket of ball (I am still in training) after that the four of us went on the boat and did some fishing. the deep sounder was not working so we didn't have much luck with the fish so we just cruised around. (June 23rd) I went to Campbellriver and dropped off the depth sounder to get fixed got back home Robin and I went and did a round golf (9 holes) at our local course. The girls went to town shopping and Robin and I met them for lunch. From there we picked up the now fixed sounder Susie carried on shopping and Robin andI and peggy went fishing. Robin caught 2 small salmon which we sent back to the ocean for future concideration Peggy caught 1 salmon which was big enough to keep but it jumped off the hook right at the boat so we had a pretty good time back home for a barbacue and fire pit we were all pretty tired (big day) (June 24th we went down to the beach at low tide and collected sand dollars Then Robin and Peggy had to leave for home they caught 12:45 from Duke point the rest of the I worked on the boat.

I am back again

Roger and Susie's Travels June 3rd Well this is a update from May 24Th things are still going in the mode of getting ready for the spring (excuse me) summer (weather has been crappy) On a high note we had a visit from Robbin and Peggy and Peggy mother Ruth (a sweet heart) ( plus the dogs Rue & Tigger) We all went for a ride in the old 48 chevy every body enjoyed that. we enjoyed the local fare at our local over a 100 year old pub. they spent 2 days and we all had a good time. we will see them again on the 20Th at Fathers day car show in Qualicum. Back to working on my boat I have found extra problems (maintenance ????) which is taking me extra time this year to get in the water.
