I am getting further and further behind on post to the web site, and the next few weeks are likely to increase the backlog rather than decrease it. This past weekend, Justine and I were able to complete one major project on Galiano that we had been working on for quite some time.
Read MoreA Visit to Salt Spring
Our friends Katie and John came to visit us on Galiano over the weekend. On the Saturday, we decide to make our second trip on David’s boat, and thought we’d try a bit of a longer journey. We decide to try crossing the channel to go to Salt Spring Island and check out the famous Saturday Market.
Read MoreA Quick (Old) Bird Post
On a recent trip to Galiano, I spent some time just taking pictures of the birds from the deck of the cottage. I thought I’d throw them up here - not a lot to add, just some fun pictures.

A couple of posts back, I introduced my friend David that took us out on his boat when he and his family came for a visit to Galiano. Now David is a much better friend then we deserve. He has another boat, a much smaller one on a trailer that he offered us to use for the rest of the summer! On this trip we took the boat out for a maiden voyage…
Read MoreGaliano Boating Weekend
After a month away (for me - 3 weeks for Jus) we finally got back to Galiano. In addition to the usual work around the property, we had some fun things lines up. My friend David has a boat and had booked a weekend at Montague Harbour with his family. They were coming up to our place for a BBQ on Saturday, then had offered to take us out on the boat on Sunday!
Read MoreGaliano Early May Update
The spring (such that it is) is getting really busy for us, so with a lot of events and trips planned, our visits to Gaiano are going to be less frequent. I thought I’d give a quick update from our last trip and to show the progress of the gardens and such.

We headed over to Galiano for another week-long stay. This approach has been working well for us - it gives us time to relax, time to do some projects and stay well connected with work. StarLink has made a huge difference in that respect. As our weekends seem to be getting busy (more on that to come), it really provides some great flexibility. We’re making good progress, and this trip provided enough good weather to tackle a few things.

I’ve been lax on updates on the progress on Galiano. It’s been a very productive sproing for us, as we’ve tackled many projects (and spent way too much money) getting a lot done around the cottage. I thought I’d use this post to catch up on a bunch of them.
Read MoreWinter Projects on Galiano
I am once again falling behind on updates! While there hasn’t been a lot going on at home or at work, we’ve made a couple of trips over to Galiano to make progress on a few of the projects we’re trying to get done over the winter. This post gets us caught up on two trips - a short weekend visit and a longer 10-day trip over.
Read MoreWinter Weather on Galiano
I got back from Ontario on New Year’s Eve, and we had booked a ferry to head to Galiano on New Year’s Day. We were just going for a couple of days to check on things, as there had been a fair bit of snow and since it’s so rare, we wanted to see how things were looking in the snow.
