October 16, 2012


Hi you two. We have been looking at recent photographs of you and your adventures, and it looks like you have been having some pretty good times! You live in a beautiful province.
 

 
 
It sounds like you had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend, and now Halloween is just around the corner. We hope to see photos of the pumpkins you carve.

Grandma in PEI a long time ago
 

Here’s what has happened in our “neck of the woods” since we were last in touch:

·        CanKata has been pulled out of the water to get her bottom painted. We use a special paint so that little forms of sea-life don’t attach themselves to us, which would slow us down as we sail around the world.

·        We have made a decision to leave Thailand this coming February – heading toward South Africa and onwards, all the way around again back to Thailand (we hope).

·        Grandpa has been busy working on CanKata to get her ship-shape for her next big adventure.

 
·        On “Sat Duan Sip” - a special Thai holiday which is celebrated to honour our ancestors - we went to the National Park that is right on our doorstep and saw LOTS of people having picnics and fun on this October 15th holiday.


 
 
·        As usual, we went out for a steak dinner to celebrate Sweet 16 Day.

·        We have booked our flights to Canada! We’ll be visiting you from the end of June until September 3rd. Can’t wait!!!!

It’s been a while since we had a SpongeBob joke. Here’s one that should remind you of your recent trip to PEI:

What do you call a lobster that won’t share?

Shellfish.

Bye for now.
All our love,
Grandma and Grandpa Sailor
