Thank you Lord for allowing us to have this awesome time to enjoy your beautiful displayed Majestic handiwork, these photos can not capture the detailed beauty of how breath taking it is to the eye.
Dad and I thank you and praise you for watching so carefully and intentionally over us.
Each place the Lord allowed us to visit was unique and so different in their own ways.
Out on an Island in the middle of the North West, most only by boat or float plane.
This Chart is one of many,But this starts our trip,From Friday Harbor San Juan Islands into BC.
Nothing is in order but I have put each stop. So much to share,this is just a few pic's from our sweet time on the water.
The Lords Merciful Kind Protective Hands were all over us on this cruise. We met so many wonderful people,and were able to share our Lord Jesus Christ to many.
Met a Chinese Woman Marie,in Refuge Cove, who was waiting for a shower I offered her to go ahead of me and she declined,so I took my shower and she went in after me, well in the middle of her shower the generators shut down, She peeks her head out the door and says, 'NO--W-A-TA- I said yes the power went off and should come back on---she said 'NO--W-A-TA ---HAYR--AW--WET---NEE--W-A-TA
yes its ok------- lights will come back on and you will have water, it's ok I will stay right here until the lights come on............ back up the generators go and Marie was able to finish her shower--------you see refuge cove is run by generators to generate electricity to run water and everything else.
When she came out Dad and I were sitting on the bench just enjoying the view, we all laughed about the incident, we talked and shared the goodness of our Lord, come to find out she was a believer,she shared her life, we hugged and Prayed and hugged and said our good- byes----------we were able to have so many wonderful opportunities like this.
Our only incident on the whole trip was when we were coming out of the Jarvis Inlet heading onto the Malispina channel Our steering went out, we were meeting Peter and Fran to head up on our cruise and just like that "NO STEERING THE WHEEL JUST SPUN ENDLESSLY!" YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SAID DAD I HAVE NO STEERING,----------WHAT DO YOU MEAN?----------------------------- I HAVE NO STEERING! This Man jumped into action, 1st looking to see if any cables had snapped, the rudder,then the wheel, the bolt had backed out------------------well this man, my husband had every tool but the right one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so he "Migivered" the wheel until we got to Powell river 2 hours away.
Peter had the right socket, Dad put a lock washer on it and we got er fixed. Thank you Jesus!
We just Praised and thanked the Lord for being with us before we got out in the channel.
The Lord kept Dad well the whole trip,I Just thank Jesus for giving us this sweet sweet time, so so many memories,
Peter and Fran were another couple that we spent much time with, This man is 85 Years old Fran is 74.
Traveling these waters for over 40 years, offered to share some of their special places, which allowed us to go into waters we would not have gone.
Learned much from this man about these waters, chart reading, calculating distance, speed, currant,ebb,flow, tides,time to get from one place to the other to hit slack water. We will never forget this adventure with this couple. Amazing----------

We Thank our Precious Lord and Savior for how He ordained this wonderful Trip and time so that we may Glorify Him in it all.
Today My Man Sleeps as I blog it's "Steroid day", and "Steroid Day" always kicks His butt!!!
Makes Him Rummy, Very Sleepy. But wakes up with a smile on His face.
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Deuteronomy 7:9,10
