INDIAN ARM HOME INSPECTION

August 2nd, 2007
This morning I met one of my purchasers in my boat & we headed up The Indian Arm in North Vancouver to Brighton Beach for an inspection. A gorgeous morning to be on the water. Saw the seals sunning themselves with their baby pups and a large bald eagle en route. Not every inspector is game to go for a boat ride lugging his ladder and other equipment but we found the perfect inspector Cliff ...

SECHELT KAYAKING

August 1st, 2007
I was up the Sunshine Coast this month visiting family and friends. One of my friends had a double kayak available, so we headed out for a paddle. We were on Redroof Lane across from Merry Island, so off we headed. Merry Island is a very small island with a light house and 2 hourses. We didn't find any beach to stop at so we just paddled around and saw a few seals and 2 eagles. An hour's ti ...

Bridge on Wall Street

August 1st, 2007
  A friend of mine hosts a bridge tournament once a year in her Vancouver home. For the third year I was fortunate enough to be invited. There are 3 tables and we rotate partners. Half way through we have dinner then dessert and liqueurs and prizes to end the day. It was a grat way to spend a very wet rainy day. The VIEW of the harbour and freighters was most interesting & I came in 1s ...

Living on campus in student housings for the first year was satisfactory but not ideal, so, her parents have decided to buy an investment property and have their daughter live in in the apartment to finish her studies. We struggled to find listings AND after 3 days o ...

COMMERCIAL DRIVE A-HAPPENIN' PLACE

July 26th, 2007
I love to go to Commercial Drive. Sunday morning I had a break in my appointments, so I stopped at Zesty's for breakfast. Zesty's has an outdoor patio, so I can watch all the colorful people stroll by. That Sunday was especially interesting because they closed 'The Drive' to vehicles, and set up the street as a promenade. Within half an hour of the street closure, stands sprang up with vend ...

INDIAN ARM KAYAKING

July 25th, 2007
I bought a kayak last year and love to go off on adventures up the Indian Arm. Last Tuesday I decided to paddle off to Brighton Beach. This would normally be a 50 minute paddle. Unfortunately, I did not check the wind direction before heading out. BIG MISTAKE!! My 50 minute paddle ended up taking almost 2 hours. Every time I stopped to look at an otter or just rest for a few minutes, the wi ...
