we are still working on the ham radio. Steve thinks it works but just needing to set it up. Ron Kolody set it up for us before, so we are learning. I went to buy us some toques ( known as stocking hats here, they laugh at me when i say toque) and some gloves. We are getting more and more done on the boat. Have played a few games of Chess , I am good!!! Beat Steve in about 8 moves - check out the checkmate with the white horse on black king, good eh?! Just to show that!
Kyle , Maya, and Emma are doing great. Right now the girls are studying rocks, Kyle of course is reading something!! Have made a few friends on the dock here. Hope to go leave tomorrow if the weather is right. Steve went and watched a blues band the other night and quite enjoyed them. Will update when I can.

Hi you all! I love seeing all your pictures and hearing what you have been up to. Good luck with the weather. Soon enough you will be heading into nice warm seas!
That is indeed a check, but I'm not sure it's a checkmate. What is to the right of the black king? A bishop? If so, he could take your knight. If it's a knight, yup you've got him in a check mate. It's hard to make out in the photograph.
We have being playing Trivial Pursuit - Lord of The Rings Edition. Lincoln and Grant are sharp as tacks on that one. Gord and I have to trust to dumb luck. ;-)
Annette
Steve's sister for anyone wondering who I am.
to the right of the black king is a knight and just in front of the that is a pawn. so yep, i got him. i have a better photo of it and it comes up bigger to see. it was a good game
Dionne
Brilliant Dionne. He let himself get trapped. Bet he wont let that happen again. ;-)
you're so right Annette, he has made sure there was a space to move the king every other game since. he's won some too!!
the sun is trying to come out!!yeh
