Sidney Island!

We recently ended a four day camping trip on Sidney Island in the hot, blazing, glorious sunshine. Boating over on Friday we were able to explore our surroundings, set up our traveling home and discover the beautiful, white-sand beach where we would be spending the majority of our time.
On Saturday we were lucky enough to have Phil and Marilyn, two Victoria-based marine biologists help us conduct a beach seine. Everyone had a blast (especially Dane who was clearly in his element) and learned all kinds of funky facts on the creatures we would be swimming with that afternoon!
Sunday's highlight was an introduction to Adventure Therapy with Duncan and Dave from Power to Be in Victoria. All new to me! On Sunday evening all 16 of us looked to our internal compasses and spread out over the island for a 14 hour overnight solo. I know I don't only speak for myself when I say there is something very powerful about being by yourself, in the woods, with only a tarp and watching the hours pass by.
Only one week left now! Oh how time flies!

  1. Both a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit are taken against your house. This means that your house is at risk if you should fail to repay the loan. It also means that you will not have that amount in equity if you should decide to sell your house before the loan or credit line is paid off. Always keep this in mind as you consider taking on a debt that puts your most valuable asset at risk.
