Ah, Pender. Best raw oysters I ever picked. Built a little rowing skiff with a sock fit sail rig. Sailed from Port Washington across the channel (dodging the BC Ferries) and sidled up to a reef full of 'em. No beer, no sauce no nuthin', just them sweet, fresh oysters. Life can be good. Lovely place, like a time machine back to the 50's. Enjoy it for all of us! Regards, Bob in Seattle (actually visiting family in Phoenix (Chandler) where it's a cool 106 today...back to Seattle and green grass this weekend) Bob Shaw rsphotoimages at comcast.net On Jun 8, 2010, at 11:05 AM, Vick Ko wrote: > Wow, Howard. > > Enjoy your time on Pender Island. > > It is about the best place on earth that I can think of, to recover from > any form of surgery. > > ....Vick > > > On 6/8/2010 1:56 PM, H&E Cummer wrote: >> Hi Luggers, >> I have been off the LUG since late April when I was hosting my youngest >> daughter's in-laws from Maine and then spending money for her wedding >> dinner in Hong Kong.
