Feb 14th - Valentines Day!!! Sleep on a Tug!

We took the dingy over to the airport..   Locked it up in a new location as they were doing some pile driving.
Met up with Brendan and Tracy for dinner etc .
Coming back, the dingy was moved..  they cut the big chain.. and locked up the gas tank somewhere else
We went on the pink tug and talked to Carl.. he called the guy responsible...
Although we were told to park the dingy there..  when the pile driving was done, they went to move the boat back and were pissed we were in their spot so moved it.
Now it was 9pm and the guy with the key was pissed drunk across town...
No way back to the boat!!!
I slept on the pink Tug!  it was AWESOME!  Carl is sOOOO nice!
Girls went back to Tracy and Brendans condo and slept there.. which was really nice of them!
Morning brought keys and a boat! 
What an adventure!

Feb 10 - Robins Back is BAD !!!


 

Feb 10 – Robin’s back is really bad..  we called Eelco and got his Mom to help us out..   We went to a phsio guy here and got some drugs..  Gary has also been helping.

She has to stay on her back for 3 days.

Jessi and Timbo made stirfry from scratch.. it was awesome!...

 Extra notes 2015:
Back cracker suggested pulling the boat and flying home for surgery...
No way man... I want another opinion.. lots of them
 
We decided to get an MRI done...
It showed just minor issues... a tear from a motion much like swinging a golf club.. we know it was pulling the anchor chain!
Back cracker still thought she needed surgery..
MRI young doctors said no way... its no big deal... stretch
Send the pics to Sarnia...  they also said stretch...  look on youtube!
Guess what.. it worked!
A few days later she was MUCH BETTER...
and it just went away!
:)
