Hello again...
I spent several days under my new doctor's care (or should I say Marine Mechanic?) so he could fix some issues with my two engines. He found several things that were neglected by my previous owners and that now are going to be taken care off. Some of them already have, and some will be done as the actual conditions fail and make it necessary...
Any way, as I was saying, I spent several days off duty, but everything seemed to be ready to go again, so, last Saturday we set course to Silva Bay at Gabriola Island for our inaugural cruise as an Airport Yacht Club Members!...
There was some wind (north-westerlies) so we encountered some 4-6 footer waves and IT WAS FUN!!!, well, at least for me... We might have to ask the passengers on board if they had fun as well... I think one of them got sea sick, but no big deal...
We were half way to Silva Bay when my port engine's alternator got loose (remember I said some things were found that needed to be fixed upon failing?... Well, this was one of them...) and the engine stopped but I was able to arrive to Silva Bay where a bunch of new friends were waiting for Us...
Here I am at Silva Bay, surrounded by some of my new acquired friends from the Airport Yacht Club!!!
Let me introduce you to one of the Dolphin's Crew... This is Antonio who spent lots of time fishing for the first time and he was succesful!!!
HOORAYYYY!!!!
Although the second Crew member whose name is Joaquim (right) being assisted by my new friend Sirena's Captain (Bob) was somehow succesful and caught a new species that, shall we call it "Wires ellectricus"?
Here is Antonio with Mike (the Fleet Captain for the AYC)... Hey Antonio, are those BBQ ribs any good?

Ohh! And that piece of corn sure looks delicious as well!!!
It also happened to be The Admiral's birthday and we even had a home made cake!!! (Baked at Sirena's oven by Audrey)
Did I mentioned that I have lots of new friends? Well here is one of them: Sirena
Any way, after some bizarre incidents and lots of help from so many friends, I was able to run again and we returned to Richmond Tuesday afternoon after enjoying good weather, good company and new friends at Silva Bay...
Here is a Google Earth image of the route...
Now, as we speak, my personal doctor is getting me ready to go for the next adventure!!!...
