Powell's bookstore in Portland is AH-mazing.

Bought Jenny Oddell's book "How to do nothing". Was hard to pick one book, for a while I had "Mycelium Running" & "The hidden life of trees" in hand. Ah well, only space for one book.

Fasciated Delphinium

While finding blackberries again is a nice surprise, the sudden increase in housing development on the island, is not. Crazy how the peninsula is building up, with forests being cut down... it changed a lot in 4 years. I worry about the future. With so many houses, where will the deer and cougars go? :/

It's really nice to be back here in BC, and to find blackberry jewels everywhere. We've been walking/cycling, and we see these on the side of the road all the time <3.

When sailing, the journey is just as important and memorable as the destination. Same can't be said for planes.

Traveling so fast across the planet by plane is crazy, really messes me up. I'm so damn tired rn, can't think.

I prefer slow-traveling by boat to this any day.

The Typhoon has passed us. It generated some pretty strong winds and rains, more than I've ever seen, crazy considering how far we were from the eye of the storm. Pino and crew are doing fine.

Pino is out of the zone that will get the most damaging winds. We're still in risk range though. Every boat in the marina is secured, sprayhoods down. Boats on land are tied down with ropes. We take that as a sign that shit will go flying so we secured everything on our boat too. When in doubt, do like the locals.
