We retired early from our careers in education so we could enjoy experiences like this. I just read an interesting post by Debbie Dabble about early retirement. She has lots of good suggestions if your are planning or beginning yours.

| Harbour seals waiting for a free meal in Campbell River. |
Back in Campbell River at the Discovery Harbour Marina we watched fishermen clean their salmon and the harbour seals and gulls waiting for a free meal.

| Sunset over the Heriot Bay Inn Marina. |
At the Heriot Bay Marina we enjoyed a quite dock with wonderful sunsets and tasty dinners on their Inn's Herons Restaurant's outside deck.

After four nights out on the chuck we caught a good weather (light winds) window to head back to our homeport, Powell River's Westview Harbour.
The way the waves were rolling, it reminded me of the introduction to a 1950s TV show from my youth, Victory at Sea. Well, maybe not quite that big! -- Margy
What a lovely trip with terrific scenery! I am not a fan of huge waves when I'm on a boat, but I convince myself that others have survived before me so I'll be fine!
ReplyDeleteGreat post on 'My Corner of the World' this week! Thanks for linking up!

Your harbor photos are stunning, Margy. I love hearing about people who live their dreams. Good for you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteWe've really enjoyed our retirement choice. - Margy
DeleteA 1952 video!
ReplyDeleteThe minute I saw the waves that intro came to mind. My parents must have watched the series. I was three years old in 1952. - Margy

DeleteWe too retired early to fulfill our travel dreams and are grateful we were able to do so (and continue to be able to after over 20 years). We enjoy boating but haven’t ventured out to the ocean ....great that you can... I hadn’t heard the term “chuck” before! Fun to know.
ReplyDeleteWow, I remember my dad watching Victory at Sea. He served in the Navy.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to be retired although you work hard and play hard too
ReplyDeleteThe Elk I pictured are up in Sedro-Woolley and belong to the Indians. Always fun to watch.
