The male California Sea Lions in the bay near Elserine and Hugo’s house in Nanoose have been barking like dogs late at night and early in the morning. Soon they will make their journey to California to meet the females. Their population has been growing steadily since the 70s, which attracts more Killer Whales, since they are part of their diet. Meanwhile, one Sea Lion can eat 10,000 baby salmon (called Salmon Fry) in one day! And humans get blamed for over fishing! * We left Portugal to visit our family in North America, starting in Toronto with my brother Doug and Merrilee, and then Conroe, Texas last Friday to visit Hailey, Courtney, Mike, and then into Alberta to visit Dex, Nick, and Bryant, and Kate, Amy, Lindsey, and Les. We’ve taken a side trip to Vancouver Island to visit Con’s brother Hugo and Elserine in their garden oasis in Nanoose. Today, we ferry to Vancouver to visit our good friends Shirlee and Mark, and Friday, we’re back in Alberta. * This winter, we’ve researched and viewed houses in Southern France, the Portuguese Algarve. This spring, we scouted out water front houses on Vancouver Island, all in our search for our “Just Right” place to live for our next life segment on land. * Video: We took Hailey to the Trampoline Park left. She's a natural! Nick, Dex, puppy Tank, and I went to a natural park area by the river. Spring is finally arriving in Alberta. At the Japanese restaurant, the chef flipped rice at me. * Visit 2019 Europe for more pictures and stories. * My article from a few years ago: The Inspirational Philosophy of Sailing Through Life: https://www.nauticalmind.com/blog/2012/02/sailing-through-life/ Below: Southern France, picture compliments Sylvie, a real estate representative.
