Because,yes!!! We are back in Pender harbour!!!
It always feels like coming home when we enter her harbor, and someday we hope to make our home here.
Our friends, Martha and Doug AGAIN let us tie to their dock, let me do my laundry, which is such a blessing, Martha is a boater, so she knows how much it means when you can do your laundry somewhere. We value their friendship very much so , and just wish we could do something in return,they have been and are a huge contribution to our summer being wonderful this year.

Bert is working on Balandra again, mostly every day, i am making jewelry, (you can check out my creations on : “blissfulbeadingonaboat.wordpress.com” )
I do repair work too, which keeps me busy. I think we will be here till next week, Balandra should be finished then, we still want to head to Desolation Sound for the month of September and meet up with friends there.

Grapes in Martha’s garden, aren’t they gorgeous????

Balandra’s home, where my 6’4″ man is folding himself around the little sailboat.
