yes, you saw it right, i wrote spring, and yes, its only January 23, but have a look at these photos, now i am cheating a bit, as i live close to Victoria, and spring tends to come much earlier here then everywhere else, but i am sitting in the cockpit again, with the computer, in the sun, my pansies are blooming, and it really does feel like spring is coming, but, we had ice on the docks last night………

Snow drops, bravest little flowers!!!

Almost too cold still to open up.
