With low, low tides this weekend, we had few mooring buoy options that would actually be deep enough, but the single available buoy was (just) enough to fit the bill, so we grabbed it. There was nothing special about the weekend, but everything special at the same time. We started looking back and it's been a couple years since we've been able to do the whole family together; everyone dropped into their old roles and routines. The only problems with the weekend was I found myself being shellacked in any card game we played, and somehow this 'spacious' 34PC had become significantly smaller ;^) but a problem we're happy to deal with any time we can... the boat, not the card game outcomes!

Right from the start, boating has been a real family activity for us. With the kids no longer 'kids', the chances for us to get away as a whole family unit are now few and far between, everyone was onboard for the long weekend. Two groups that we're involved with -LPSS and PRYC- both had cruises scheduled that weekend, but they were in Canadian ports, and the kids no longer have NEXUS. Either could have been made to work, but reservations for both marinas filled up quickly. While either would have been fun to attend, the full family aboard was the main focus for us this weekend, so it was an easy decision to simply point the boat south and head down to what is still one of our favourite spots -Sucia.
