Peter
We have a new neighbor. He lives in his boat across the street. Well, he called it his "home away from home". Some time ago, he and his wife bought the sailboat in Victoria, B.C. and sailed it to France. It took them 9 months, and now they moore it on the dock across from our place. Their home at home is San Francisco...maybe it's their winter home, and I guess they're retired. He and his wife apparently just flew in to Paris for a wedding, and he came up to work on the boat before driving up to Paris to join his wife for the wedding, and then bring her back here. Sometime this summer, they'll sail around Europe, he says, and they're not sure where yet. I guess that means that literally, they'll go wherever the wind takes them. He's totally a kindred spirit and I'm glad to meet our new neighbor whose boat home is from Victoria. What a small world.

It sounds like you're having such wonderful adventures! What a great opportunity to meet other world travelers.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear Catherine, you will soon be invited to lunch so the locals can hear your view of the neighbourhood adventures. It sounds like you are expanding your horizons but it is always great to meet someone with kernels of similar interests. Keep the blogs coming as they are the next best thing to lunch.
