2012
New Years saw us in British Columbia finishing up our
Christmas visit with Family
The day was spent skiing Mount Baldy with family. Mount Baldy is a local ski hill about a 45 minute drive up the mountain. Fun was had by all as you can see below.

Jan 6th 2012 we depart the Okanagan for Vancouver. We fly east Jan 8th
Our drive over the Hope Princeton Highway on route to Vancouver remind us that it is indeed winter!!
After a drive through the mountains we enjoy a relaxing game of BEYBLADES in Delta before returning to Ontario on Sunday.
Upon our arrival we take in the day as we readjust and change gears to head south in the new year. As you can see below winter has not yet taken hold at Beacon Court.
Tundra waits peacefully on her mooring at Marios Marina waiting for our Early February arrival to the Rio Dulce. For more on our time there click on http://svtundra.ca/8.html

From Feb to May we
worked and played on Tundra in the Rio Dulce, Guatemala
with an interesting cruise out to the offshore atolls of
Belize-Lighthouse and Glovers Reef.
Pristine reefs and coral are supporting an amazing
underwater system offshore. The fish and creatures are
bigger and coral more spectacular than inshore. Yes, I
flinched several times with these beautiful, big creatures
so close. About May we are getting homesick and love to
return to Beacon Court.
Home again in
2012 we looked forward to the rest of the year
For the first time
we had Madison and Barrett with us for the month of July.
Weather cooperated and we loved every minute of kid time.
It included lots of beach play, swimming, boating and
visiting Grandma Aleta.
In August 2012 we headed for our beloved Killarney and camped on the inlet. It was so easy to revisit our old haunts in Katalina’s Legend. Fishing was just as we remembered-bass sporting great fight. Hiking and relaxation on the warm rocks is a huge privilege.
October took us for a fall colour tour through
Pennsylvania and camping in Big White on the Finger Lakes.
A few days in South
Carolina and Florida rounded out our fall warmly. Here we
had a visit with Meindert and Gail at their home.
here is a view of their dock.
A pre Christmas visit to Oliver with John and Eleanor was a bonus as we visited with Jack who is now at Sunny Bank nursing home.
As you see above during 2012 we enjoyed our gardens and sunsets at Beacon Court
