Family and friends are by now very accustomed to the ever-changing plans of Picara's crew - in late June, with winter weather bearing down on our planned passage to Fiji and a job offer for Mike thrown into the mix, we did a 180 and went home for a few months' working visit. And we were glad we did: the best Canadian West Coast summer either of us remember, plus an awesome time with the folks and the buddies.
