Pete's Pirate Island!

On a humble island just a few nautical miles west of Vancouver lies the lair of famed Pete - treeplanter/pirate of the North seas. Under his rocky plot lies his buried bounty....guarded by the scurvy hound of hell, Tundra..of the North seas...Amy and I recently returned from Passage Island to view the latest building project of Pete's. It's a beautiful westward facing lot with water access - they have built a temporary cabin while they begin a larger log house on the rocks overlooking the Pacific. The island is quite small, with maybe 30 cabins and is just 10 minutes from a West Van harbour by water taxi.

fair thee well, loyale steed!

Here is the last pic of my sweet ride - returning to the City whence she came; purchased several seasons ago from a local merchant she carried me well and with God speed. She will ride again to serve another master whilst I mount a larger breed....rubber side down my fine friend!
