I walk past it (almost) every day, but I still can't resist stopping to admire the view! #saltspringisland #gangesharbour #saltspringislandmarina #svinnisfree #oceanview #liveaboardlife
Took advantage of the break in the weather and went for a quick sail out of Ganges Harbour - just to shake off the last of the snow and give the engine a good run. Managed to get back before the snow starts sticking to the docks again! Now it's time for a hot cup of tea! 🫖
It's Frosty's revenge! Almost a foot of snow fell in the night. We were up at 2:30am digging out, on the assumption that it would be wetter and heavier by morning (and it is), and we didn't want to damage the canvas cockpit enclosure. This can be the first and last snowfall of 2022, right?
The snow has already started accumulating - looks like we'll be digging out the boat again tomorrow. Hard to believe that this time 3 years ago we were replacing all the windows on our old sailboat!
The ocean has frozen in around us this morning. I wanted to get a better photo, but I don't want to venture outside until I can put more wooly layers on. Please can we go back to our usual warm and rainy weather now?!
Enjoying the sun with a Christmas Day walk. The snow line started a few meters higher than sea level - let's hope it stays that way! 😄
