None of this has been discussed on the blog but Brad has been dealing with a court case for many years now. He had to stop the case during court proceedings and go to the appeal court... the ability to even do so was argued (2 years ago) and Brad just won that so now he has to actually do the appeal. He completed the writing of that appeal on Thursday morning and we spent Thursday afternoon going to Duncan to have it printed and bound at Staples....
Then because we have sold our property in California, we had to go to the US Consulate General to have some documents doohickied.... so we left the RV at 5am sharp to ensure our spot on the 6:30am ferry to Vancouver... while waiting for the ferry to embark a friend and neighbour tapped on the window... he and his son were going out on the same ferry to do some business of their own.

Concrete jungle is an understatement
We had booked a return ferry via Victoria for 6:30pm but we arrived back at the Ferry terminal at 3pm so got in the standby line.... barely made it though, just one car behind us got on the 3:30pm ferry... Whew. And guess who tapped on the window... yup, Mark! They were heading back also but took a different ferry route. We were home by 8pm with a short stop on Mayne Island to transfer ferries.
Today, after Pickleball we decided to take Robbie to Beddis Beach......
A Catamaran (my dream), and the Vancouver ferry

Beddis Beach, great sand and soft shells
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and we will, of course, be in attendance.
I take great exception to standing in the cold while the names of every local business are read off in lieu of their flowers on a day that should be about those who died...
Read the names of those men/women and I'll stand all day.
