Cruise To Pirates Cove On The Schooner "Grail Dancer"

A Forbes Hall Fundraising Experience 

Calling all adventurers! Support the Forbes Hall expansion by spending a relaxing day at sea on the Grail Dancer - a 50’ classic wooden topsail schooner. This elegant boat was built locally here on Thetis Island by Wayne and Maureen Loiselle, who will also be crewing the voyage. For a sneak peak of what you’ll be boarding visit www.graildancer.ca .

We’ll sail to Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park on De Courcy Island where we will stop and enjoy a picnic lunch on the beach. Pirates Cove is aptly named for its history. As legends have it, the infamous Brother XII buried his treasure there and it has not been found to date...

Leonard Sylvester Passes

I am saddened to pass on the news that our Penelakut neighbour Leonard Sylvester passed away due to illness earlier this week. Len was a talented carver and gentle soul who regularly participated in Thetis artisan markets and craft fairs. He will be missed by many of us. May he rest in peace.

Wood Splitter Needed

I have wood but don't have a wood splitter. If anyone would like to share the wood in exchange for bucking and splitting it, please email: gladezone@yahoo.com

Deer Family

Many thanks to the Kempe family for putting big smiles on our faces as we drive, or walk by their home and Telegraph Harbour. The "family" of deer provide us all with a daily delight, a big smile and spontaneous laughter.

What we find truly amazing is how calm those two deer are in that little rowboat, enjoying life, fishing away in the harbour.

We do hope the DFO will not bother them about where they are fishing and, or if, they have fishing licenses.

Oh well, maybe deer do not need fishing licenses?
