January Blues

January comes to an end and it has been a sad last couple of weeks. The death of our dear friend Sheena Lennox has left us feeling very hollow. David and Deirdre flew to Winnipeg for Sheena's memorial. On the way back from the airport in Calgary, our red car died. So many endings at the moment. This page has been created to help us communicate what's happening while we are away on the BIG ADVENTURE. Hard to get geared up for it as a result of recent events, but we'll get there.

We've been thinking about Captain Greg Sager a lot reently too. He has just sold his beautiful schooner, the Passing Cloud, and is a captain with no ship at the moment. He is planning a beautiful retirement in Europe (not unlike his hero Captain Haddock of Tintin fame) but in our minds he is always linked to the sea and his beautiful ship.

We hope to communicate through writing and pictures what's going on as we travel. We leave Calgary Feb. 27th and fly to London to see Jill. From there, we fly to Carcassonne in the South of France. We'll update events from there.

Meantime, we'll try to post some pictures and make this thing look nice. - Rob, Jan 29, 2007
