Yo Brad! I had the urge to find you... Hey Brad,
Sounds like you've had a great trip through Central America. It's a beautiful part of the world and the people (including ex pats) are extremely welcoming. Feel free to drop me a line sometime. I'm in the UK now and have been for a few years. Would love to catch up.
Take care, lots of love,
Tamara
Keep the dream alive! Your "Stash" is looking good Blane! That's the mark of a maple over chevrons. Your pistol man looks like he is all about meters and inches. Deadly. Keep up the moral and know your brother is here keeping it real in Canadistan. Peace out.
P.S. Looks like your truckers could use a little training and your bugs could use a little less free radicals!
another Pacific disturbance Hi Blane,
Enjoyed your photos and the descriptions...couldn't help contrasting the obvious dry, sandy terrain with what we've been experiencing for the past two weeks. You guessed it: screaming southeasters and horizontal rain sometimes fat almost-snow. Mount Washington has so much snow that they're opening next weekend much to the delight of the skiers in the family.
Your Dad is busy working on his boat...promised your Mum a whole month of cruising next July, so now he's really committed to the project. Mum has decided not to pack her bags until she sees it at the gas dock!
Plans for Bruce's wedding are moving along...wish you could be here for the big day.
Looking forward to more news....stay safe.
Love, Cherri
PS Love the moustache...very Clark Gable!
Glad to see you Hey, Blane
Glad to see your blog up and running, now we have a feel for the area and conditions you are in! Keep the info. coming please. Dang, I just mailed you a parcel, if I had of known you were short of blades for your razor I would have sent some.... actually the moustache looks great. Stay alert, Love Mom xo
Good weather and safe trip for the rest of it Wow, I have just returned from Greece but it seems that my trip pales compared to your journey. I just hope that my brown colour will still remain there and not turn yellow because of all the enviness and gelousy and etc and etc aand etc.. I now have to cope with!!
Although I have noticed that it is kind of noisy in your boat, you may be lucky to hear the seashell...
Poseidon, mighty god of the seas was attracted to all the godess and women he would see. One day though, the dance of Amphitrite stirrs the tenderness in his heart. Not knowing how to deal with this new feeling, he uses his usual methods to have her, and makes her run and hide herself into the bottom of the sea.
Realising he has lost The One and failing to find her, Poseidon is filled with great sadness. Impressed, his friend Delphinus (the Dolphin) volunteers to search for her and plead his case. He succeeds in his mission and Amphitrite becomes the Queen of the Seas.
But, as the gods do not die (at least not so soon! ) like Romeo and Juliet, poor Poseidon returned to his old habits, and thus the story of the marriage begins :-).. ..
....
And even nowadays, my dear readers, when you hear the sound of a seashell, you will know that it is their son Triton riding with Poseidon in his chariot across the waters, trumpeting a sea shell to announce Poseidon's arrival.
Prince George Bound Blane, if you stop in P.G. make sure to phone John and wish him happy b-day which is on Saturday. Can't wait to hear the stories from this adventure.
That was fast!! Hey Blane, I am amazed at how fast you got to Ketchikan. I could see by spot, you and Len spent
many hours a day in your 15 ft boat (your bottoms must of got very numb). It was fun watching your journey. I can only imagine how beautiful the trip must of been. I am looking forward to a blog entry telling all about your adventure as you travelled on the ocean! I guess the adventure continues as you make your way back...... Jenny
Extreme Adventure Hey Len! Seems that you're near Mt. Robson Provincial Park and making good time. I'm very impressed with, and envious of, your excellent adventure. But seriously Dude, what's wrong with getting to Alaska on Holland America Lines. Let's grab a beer when you get back. John T.
Alaska bound Great to hear from you in Alert Bay , I was working on the computer today and brought up spot just in time to see you were in blind channel. I phoned and enquired if you guys were there and the girl said , they are just heading out from the dock should I try and flag them down? I said thanks but no.
Sounds like the boat is performing well and you should have no problems with the open crossing if the weather continues to coperate .
Cheers Ray
Fantastic Hi Blaine,
This is fantastic! Such an inspiring sort of trip. I can't wait to watch the spot again.
What is your timeline? I can just imagine you will be there and back as fast as possible.
Good seas ahead to you and Len,
Lana
Bon Voyage! Blane,
Wow, great video. I really enjoyed watching it and seeing just how much work went into preparing your boat, I hope you and your friend Len have a great trip. It will be fun watching you travel via spot once again, only this time on the mighty ocean water instead of the open road. You live a non-rstop adventurous life, Mr Reynolds and it is super cool that you bring friends and family along for the ride!
Happy travels,
Jenny
Lyle Just got back from working on the boat, I guess I'm going to have to change the timer.......again. Were going over the top on the build.
Stay tuned.

CR visit?? Good to hear from you at last...would love to hear more about your travels and to meet Olivia. Any chance of a visit to Campbell River before summer ends??
About time Hey, glad to see the blog back. You both have had some adventures over the last while but no info. on them. Love the pic's Brad, but darn none of Olivia!
Hi Lyle Hope your time with the new one in going good. It's nice to be home! Were just finishing the final touches on the boat, and the link to the spot will be working in 3 days! Hope your family is healthy and doing well.

Hello All,
Len Chaston and I are taking our 15' zodiac from Vancouver to Ketchikan Alaska. The original idea was Ray's and at one point was debating whether to join the trip, but Kingcome Inlet was too busy. The boat is an Ex-Greenpe... full info
