We've been pleased to host eight visitors recently. Edmontonians Anna (Poet Laureate), Douglas and Tallulah were out for a few nights.
It was great to play guitar with Anna again, enjoy word games and hiking, and show off the Sunshine Coast.
Doug went swimming. We did remind him that it's just February, and none too warm yet, but he wouldn't be deterred.

Unfortunately a big wave slammed Doug and he lost his glasses. He never complained once about the water being cold. :)
Currently my son, Logan, and his girlfriend, Kira (from Kiel, Germany), are here for two weeks, leaving Saskatoon in a blizzard, and arriving to full sun on the Sunshine Coast. They quickly on the water and caught enough crab for a huge feast, AND a wonderful crab appetizer that we served at our Games Night party on Saturday night.
Guests: six. Sea: zero.

| Logan and Kira on "Music Night" ... my usual gathering with guitar-playing friends and neighbors Claude and Rob. Logan's friend Pete, from the Ukraine, is now living in Vancouver. He'd never been to the Sunshine Coast, so he ferried over and we hiked the dickens out of him.  |

Judit (from Germany) and Krista (Vancouver) were also with us on our hike to the Skookumchuck Rapids, then burgers and fish and chips at the Back Eddy Pub in Egmont.

This is one hike the guidebooks all recommend, and we're glad we had company and finally got around to viewing this phenomenon.
