Del Viento- girls
Since leaving Victoria two months ago, we’ve been overwhelmed by all we’ve seen and experienced. Now that we’ve reached our northern-most point at 59 degrees latitude, we’re going to head south, back to Mexico. I thought this was a good time to pause and reflect the past two months chronologically, in the skads of pictures that never made it on to the blog. Check back tomorrow for the next group. Enjoy!

Roscoe Bay, West Redonda Island, BC, facing Desolation Sound. We filled our tanks here with water that erupted from a spring and gurgled down a rock wall we sidled up to in Del Viento.
I__n our twenties, we traded our boat for a house and our freedom for careers. In our thirties, we slumbered through the American dream. In our forties, we woke and traded our house for a boat and our careers for freedom. And here we are. Follow along at http://www.logofdelviento.blogspot.com/
