It started with a hiss

As I was about to put my foot on the gang plank I heard a hiss. If I had been in the southwest I would have stood completely still thinking it a snake. The sound persisted. I searched for it's source. An arms length away was a Canadian goose standing on the slippery slope. He lowered his neck and repeated his hiss. I nodded understanding - duly warned I carried on. He must have realized at some point that we weren't a threat and allowed the family to swim nearby. Silly goose he shouldn't have been worried at all. I mean really. Where else would you find a boat loaded with cooing and admiring grandmas on the Salish Sea?

 

We WOWers like to marvel at the natural environment.

It is an amazing system that swirls over our heads and below our feet and through the water.

Each week we see the level of effort Mother Nature takes to provide us with a wonderful day.

The sprinkles fell on the car all the way to the Thea. As we climbed aboard the Verite they stopped. We got out they began again with sprinkles turning into showers all the way home.

We are blessed.

Women on the Water - Doing what we otter'

Even the harbor seal agrees. We have named her Dingle. She may be a selkie. 

Almost every week she comes in close to hear our stories, but quickly

 slips back into the sea if observed to closely.

She doesn't want us to think her an eavesdropper. She loves to hear us laugh and giggle.

Oh the stories she could tell might surprise you.

 Ah... and then there are the stories the filming motor boat men are telling about us today.

Those tales might be a little different. 

We WOWed them with 10 power strokes. Just because we could! 

They looked a bit surprised.

Silly guys...

The bottom line is we individually and collectively can do anything we put our minds to.
