Sailor's run ashore

OK I admit it... now that the weather is finally improving it's getting harder to stay focused on the house building project. Especially when the likes of my buddy Ken aka Captain Easy shows up on his sailboat with musician Dave Phillips as crew.


Here we are prior to setting off to a wonderful beach bbq with some sailing friends, some Cortes islanders and some visitors from down under. Dave and I hauled our guitars along and kpt the music flowing almost as well as the wine and the chat;)

Apart from being a very decent singer/songwriter, Dave proved to be a willing and capable worker. Here he is relaxing after a hard day's labour on the jobsite.  Check out his website at www.davephillipsland.com. 


This weekend I'm taking Gwyneth down to Comox for the Vancouver Island Music Festival. It's a 30 mile sail and the weather is looking not too bad. I'll let you know how it goes...




Meanwhile, back at the ranch... we got the "bump out" window more or less framed. Ken and Dave put a coat of stain on most of the facia boards. So progress is being made...
