Jasper is nestled deep in the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada.  It is Canada’s largest Rocky Mountain Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Jasper National Park celebrated its centennial in 2007 (1907-2007).

Located right in the heart of the Canadian wilderness Sault Ste.

reid_soanya_darshen_1

Our little family and the trusty schooner have returned home. The schooner rests peacefully on her river of birth, the Cape Fear River. Soanya, Darshen and I are in the family home in Greensboro. We had a great voyage home. Besides our stopover in St. Thomas VI, we never lowered a sail the whole voyage. The winds blew out of the NE all the way to the mouth of the Cape Fear River. We had some tech savvy delivery crew with us in the VI and when they opened their computers to Passage Weather, the weather maps showed four days of contrary winds and squalls.  They decided they didn’t have time to deal with that. So they jumped ship and caught the next plane home. That left us with only Jennifer, who had never been to sea before. Despite the contrary weather forecast, we were eager … [Continue reading...]
