OK, let's tighten up the unit a bit here.

Surfside RV Resort, Parksville BC (2 stars)

Lee spent the day getting the Schooner set up for the winter, including extra stabilizers and the tripod on the hitch. The bicycles have been brought up for quick use. It was sunny but cool.

Lez wakes up to blinding light! It's the sun! Haven't seen that morning greeting since we left Merritt! It is cool today, a good day to get a load of laundry done. With 3 washing loads and subsequent dryer load - and only 2 washers and 2 dryers, it is a 3 hour process. So along came the embroidery work.

I sent Anniversary Greetings to Marg and Pieter, and chatted back and forth. Marg has been checking out the RV resort and possible rentals. It would be so cool if they were to come out to the island for a month! Marg has never been on the island and I bet Piet doesn't remember much of the time the Zwaal family took a trip in 1974 to the coast to visit with mom Zwaal's sister and family in the Fraser Valleey. Piet travelled in his camper converted decorated van and Lee and I travelled in the '65 VW Bus we had converted to a camping unit. Mom and Dad Zwaal travelled with their Scamper trailer. Oh those were the days!
