Got ‘Er Done …. Almost

You may remember that recently I endeavoured to build my boat, The Awake at Last, a winter home – namely a 13 X 40 boat shed. And I was successful in this endeavour – or so I thought. Because recently several days of ferocious winds have sent me back to the drawing board. I never would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it – it’s nailed on to a heavy 6 X 6 plank, weighted down with iron stock and sand bags. But checking on it after the wind, I found out it had moved 6 inches! Fraction by fraction, a big bad wolf blew my house around!

So now it’s more work for Jerry! In the meantime, here’s Murphy looking quite pleased with the project – he is the manager of any undertaking here, of course. 

One more thing (especially if you pity me my extra work!): if you enjoy my blog, please consider voting me for Canadian TopBlog award – go to this link, and you can find Jerry by the Sea on the bottom left category called ‘Best Professional and Business Life Blog’, and you don’t have to register to vote. And a big thanks to all who have voted!

Spring of the Year?????

I went out to the garden this weekend and there it was – a rose in full bloom in November! Then I went to the front deck and there he was – a blue jay in full bloom in November! WOW in WWW – again! The wonders of this place never end.

We’ve learned that when they were trying to find out where they were going to put the golf course in Trinity Bay, they studied the weather patterns for the last 50 years for ten towns in the area. Turns out that Whiteway won, hands down. It has a unique micro-climate with the best weather in the bay. Proof that I’m not just blowing smoke when I say that it truly is special out here! And I’ll take roses and blue jays in November any day!
