From the day I found out we can have the honor of taking Callie Belle home to restore her back to beauty, here is a peak into the journey since that day.
Spent my 33rd bday painting her to make the locals happier? at least?
Within the pic's are some of the people that helped me get to oak bay ALERT **To watch out for**
An adventure it was...and an unsaid boat lesson.
Looking back now and understanding the reality of a 'war between boater people' and the community, I wish someone pulled me aside and announced from the beginning what I was in for. I would have walked away with only a great dream to remember and respect for that community who evidentially saw mistreatment beyond words and watched trustful acts of authorities, mistreat and mismanage a couple, who had a solid plan to give back to our own community but with the events that unfolded since day #1. It wasn't easy, and did not happen with safety of the public or grace from fellow Canadians.
Laughter could only help you through so much damage that was done when needed supplies to quarantine on a boat were stopped during a major public health concern. It certainly did not make 'Keeping the Dream Alive' (alive) or well from then on indeed the community at large thought we were boat pirates on crazy delusion, yet we were lead by people we thought we were helping to get home to find the whole kurfunkle said above, to my amazement no one stated HEY, Best Idea while doing a quarantine on a boat (is here___________) or said HEY! my grandpa is retired and would love this project! here is his number _____.
Or said HEY the authorities will make your life heck if you dont do _____ first.
A way of solving an issue is working together by friendly communication...send a DM? State yourself and thoughts to the people pi***ng you off, maybe you shall find they are here to listen to the public as well...always to do good.
Not doing so only allows failure and eventually hate. Giving knowledge and insight allows for accountability.

Thoughts of then and trying to survive upon a shore in a country to where I am from as the saddest moments of my life... but Frank Sinatra sang it in the motions I feel today...

It takes a community to keep afloat. It takes a community to make us drown. But takes a good clown to turn that frown upside down
