One more week and the journey back to Kamloops begins. I absolutely cannot believe that my time here in Ukee is over. It still feels like just yesterday Simon and I made our way out to the coast. I am happy to report that work did eventually pick up, and I am almost working full time hours each week. However, I cannot complain.
Last week I decided to work on my day off and that was when it really hit me that my time is almost up. I only had one more day off after that day. So Danielle and I seized the day, dawned our power ranger suits and headed to the beach at Ocean Village and unpacked my new snorkeling gear for the first time. I had bought the gear probably four weeks ago thinking I would get out much more. I was naive. But regardless I am going to make the most of these last few days!

Since the last post, not much new has happened. Just working more hours, both in Tofino and Ukee and spending more time at the beach. That is right folks, the sun finally decided to shine here. However, as I type, it is pouring rain outside. But yes, more beach days, which are amazing, and helped to remind me that we are in fact in the season known as summer. Oh and I am diligently working on getting my whitewater kayak roll!

The last week in Ukee will see me working, mastering my white water roll, spending a night on the George Fraser Islands, a trip to Hot Springs (fingers crossed), maybe getting out on a river to paddle and spending more time at the beach. Going to continue to grab life by the balls!
Jo and I are going to travel together back to Kamloops, making a stop in Squamish to do some white water rafting with Canadian Outdoor Adventures which is where our friends Geoff, Brett and Sean work as raft guides. Upon arriving back in the 'Loops we will head straight out on our Swift Water Rescue course, followed by kayak 3 and then close to a month off before the next course. A few of us are planning a 2 week exploration of Clayoqout Sound which is going to be amazing!
Updates will come as things happen! Time is running out if you want to come visit me here in beautiful Ukee! One week children! If not in Ukee, my home in Kamloops is always open for visits. Not quite as exciting as Ukee though!
Cheers to you cats,
