Bowen Island Marina occupies the area that has historically welcomed visitors and residents of Bowen Island for over a century.
It was here that Captain Cates first landed tours from Vancouver to his ship the 'Swan' in 1897. When his new venture, Mannion Estates, grew in popularity he brought the larger vessel, 'Britannia' to the Island.
When the original Union Steamship Company took over from Captain Cates in 1920, they steadily increased the number of ships coming to its summer resort. In 1931 alone, 57,000 people visited the island.
Upon leaving the vessels, people walked up our path to a restaurant that featured an Ice Cream Parlor. During the evening live music was played in the Dance Hall nearby.
Looking for information about the Marina or the Island read the FAQ's.
Bowen Island Marina has annual and overnight moorage, but they are often fully booked. Please contact Norma at 604-947-9710 for more information. If you are looking for prices check out the moorage rates.

If you'd like to purchase a print of this painting, please feel free to visit my Etsy shop!
Rasputin is a black cat (kitten) belonging to a friend of mine. He very much seems to enjoy this perch of his and I thought the morning light coming in from the window behind him would make a great dramatic painting...and I guessed right. He is nowhere near as fierce as he looks and when he meows it sounds like someone stepped on a squeak toy. And there you have it.

Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother's rigid expectations forbid Lily from following her heart. When war breaks out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance for independence. Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an ambulance driver in the newly formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps—an exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front.
Assigned to a field hospital in France, Lily is reunited with Robert Fraser, her dear brother Edward's best friend. The handsome Scottish surgeon has always encouraged Lily's dreams. She doesn't care that Robbie grew up in poverty—she yearns for their friendly affection to become something more. Lily is the most beautiful—and forbidden—woman Robbie has ever known. Fearful for her life, he's determined to keep her safe, even if it means breaking her heart.
In a world divided by class, filled with uncertainty and death, can their hope for love survive. . . or will it become another casualty of this tragic war?
Recommended for fans of historical fiction, Rosamund Pilcher, Jennifer Donnelly's "Rose" series, and Judith Kinghorn.
This book reminds me strongly of Ms. Kinghorn's The Last Summer, which I read (and reviewed) last year and very much enjoyed. It is neither groundbreaking nor terribly original, but is an entertaining and well-written historical novel with strong romantic themes.
The heroine, Lilly, was extremely likeable – brave and assertive. The World War I setting worked well, and I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially Lilly's fellow WAAC friend, Constance. There were a couple of scenes that made me smile, and more than a few scenes that caused me to sniffle a bit.
This book doesn't possess the depth of, say, Cather's One of Ours. But it is highly entertaining, seems to be historically solid, and I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours devouring it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes their historical fiction with a happily ever after.
Willa Cather's 1923 Pulitzer Prize-winning narrative of the making of a young American soldier
Claude Wheeler, the sensitive, aspiring protagonist of this beautifully modulated novel, resembles the youngest son of a peculiarly American fairy tale. His fortune is ready-made for him, but he refuses to settle for it. Alienated from his crass father and pious mother, all but rejected by a wife who reserves her ardor for missionary work, and dissatisfied with farming, Claude is an idealist without an ideal to cling to. It is only when his country enters the First World War that Claude finds what he has been searching for all his life.
In One of Ours Willa Cather explores the destiny of a grandchild of the pioneers, a young Nebraskan whose yearnings impel him toward a frontier bloodier and more distant than the one that vanished before his birth. In doing so, she creates a canny and extraordinarily vital portrait of an American psyche at once skeptical and romantic, restless and heroic.
I love Willa Cather – I was born in Nebraska, and her books really resonate with me.
I don't think that One of Ours will end up a Cather favorite, but I am really enjoying it. I've read a fair amount of reviews that say that the section set in Nebraska that describes the experience of an American farmer viewing the war from a distance is the best part of the book, and so far, I would certainly agree that it is outstanding. She describes the early 20th century farm experience masterfully, and, as reader, I really admired the way that she brought the news of the war into the story as something that emotionally impacted the characters without affecting them in any substantive way.
Claude Wheeler, the main character, is based on her cousin, G.P. Cather, who died in 1918 in Cantigny France. This is a 1916 photograph of a group of young Nebraskan men who fought. Cather is the young man behind the sign that says 1916.
One afternoon in the first week of September Mrs. Wheeler was in the kitchen making cucumber pickles, when she heard Claude's car coming back from Frankfort. In a moment he entered, letting the screen door slam behind him, and threw a bundle of mail on the table. "What do you, think, Mother? The French have moved the seat of government to Bordeaux!
I really love the juxtaposition here of Mrs. Wheeler making cucumber pickles with the news about the war. It is so remote, and homely, and illustrates how life goes on, even in wartime, in the places that are distant from the war. All during WWI, women must have made pickles, which seems sort of crazy from where I sit, looking backwards, like the entire world should have stopped for that four years, and just watched, holding their breath, what was happening in France and the other war fronts.
Claude joins the military in order to escape from Nebraska, and from a terribly failed marriage. He is a young man who spends most of the beginning sections of the book in the midst of a great existential crisis. He doesn't fit in with the people around him. He has doubts about Christianity, he is an intellectual who doesn't have a lot of opportunities to participate in intellectual life or debate. Briefly, while he is in college in Lincoln, he begins to blossom into someone with greater self-confidence and becomes more comfortable with who he is and the doubts that he has.
Now he dismissed all Christian theology as something too full of evasions and sophistries to be reasoned about. The men who made it, he felt sure, were like the men who taught it. The noblest could be damned, according to their theory, while almost any mean-spirited parasite could be saved by faith.
Perhaps I identified with this aspect of Claude's personality because THIS is the very struggle that I experience when I think about Christianity.
Returning home to the farm, Claude falls in love with Enid, a childhood friend and girl from a neighboring farm, and persuades her to marry him although she is deeply religious and wants to go to China as a missionary. In another time, Enid probably would not have married. In this time, she appears to have married him not because she loves him and wants to build a life with him but because he is her mission – she is to bring him back to God. It's the worst sort of self-abnegation on her part because she is going to fail, and they are both going to be miserable.
In the depths of this lassitude the thought of Enid would start up like a sweet, burning pain, and he would drift out into the darkness upon sensations he could neither prevent nor control. So long as he could plough, pitch hay, or break his back in the wheatfield, he had been master; but now he was overtaken by himself. Enid was meant for him and she had come for him; he would never let her go. She should never know how much he longed for her. She would be slow to feel even a little of what he was feeling; he knew that. It would take a long while. But he would be infinitely patient, infinitely tender of her. It should be he who suffered, not she. Even in his dreams he never wakened her, but loved her while she was still and unconscious like a statue. He would shed love upon her until she warmed and changed without knowing why.
This section is beautiful and heart-breaking because we know that Claude is going to be disappointed, and that Enid isn't going to be much of a participant in the marriage. Even her father knows that this decision is going to be bad, that the marriage will be a failure. "What he wanted to do was to hold up life as he had found it, like a picture, to his young friend; to warn him, without explanation, against certain heart-breaking disappointments. It could not be done, he saw. The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young."
Cather is at her best when she is writing about her characters, picking out tiny moments and events and thoughts and using the most emphermeal minutia to illuminate them, bathe them in light, as an artist adds light to a painting to highlight something she wants the viewer to see, to notice. Cather is respectful of her characters, even when they are foolish or self-centered or misguided.
When Claude joins the military, Cather writes:
He believed that he was going abroad with an expeditionary force that would make war without rage, with uncompromising generosity and chivalry.
According to wikipedia, Cather learned of G.P.'s death reading a newspaper in a hair salon. She said this about it:
From that on, he was in my mind. The too-personal-ness, the embarrassment of kinship, was gone. But he was in my mind so much that I couldn't get through him to other things … some of me was buried with him in France, and some of him was left alive in me.
I haven't gotten to the sections about WWI – those are coming, and it feels a bit like impending doom.
Clarissa is almost seventeen when the spell of her childhood is broken. It is 1914, the beginning of a blissful, golden summer - and the end of an era. Deyning Park is in its heyday, the large country house filled with the laughter and excitement of privileged youth preparing for a weekend party. When Clarissa meets Tom Cuthbert, home from university and staying with his mother, the housekeeper, she is dazzled. Tom is handsome and enigmatic; he is also an outsider. Ambitious, clever, his sights set on a career in law, Tom is an acute observer, and a man who knows what he wants. For now, that is Clarissa.
As Tom and Clarissa's friendship deepens, the wider landscape of political life around them is changing, and another story unfolds: they are not the only people in love. Soon the world - and all that they know - is rocked by a war that changes their lives for ever.
I think I am one of ten people in America who has never watched Downton Abbey. Which is strange, because I love period dramas, and am mildly obsessed with pre-war, Edwardian British society. Notwithstanding, I have never once watched Downton Abbey.
However, I recently stumbled upon a couple of blog posts written by a blogger named Sarah at Reading the Past here which provide a list of books for fans of Downton Abbey. These posts expanded my TBR list while simultaneously depleting my bank account. The Last Summer is the first book from the list that I read.
In many ways, The Last Summer is reminiscent of Atonement, by Ian McEwan. It is set during that time period immediately pre-WWI, during the last, golden summer before war breaks out and England is forever changed. The main character, Clarissa Granville, is the daughter of the house at Deyning Park, who falls in love with Tom Cuthbert, the son of one of the servants.
The Last Summer is not exactly a romance, although it has strong romantic elements. It is a coming of age story of a young woman living in a time of great change. Clarissa is not a young woman who is ahead of her time. In fact, in many ways, she is a disappointing heroine because she is so flawed and passive. The one really rebellious thing she does is to fall in love with Tom Cuthbert.
While there were points at which I wanted to shake Clarissa into finding a bit of backbone to stand up to her overbearing mother or to make a decision that wasn't merely what was expected of her, overall, I loved this book. This period in history is hard to read about. Thousands of young men died in the trenches, and those who didn't die returned from war damaged in body and soul. The family members left on the home front suffered terribly. I highly recommend The Last Summer – I thoroughly enjoyed it even if the middle section of the book is so full of sadness that it is difficult to read. And while it isn't strictly a romance, there is a happily ever after.
Nothing at the moment!

This is the third interview with Philip Sutton, coauthor with David Spratt of a recent report titled Climate Cod Red: The Case for a Sustainability Emergency. The first interview reviewed the latest scientific understanding of climate change and established an appropriate target for temperature change and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The second interview discussed the socio-political implications of the latest scientific understanding—namely the need to go into "emergency" mode, abandoning business and politics as usual in order to make a rapid transition to a fossil-fuel free economy before catastrophe unfolds.
When we realize that our survival is at stake, business as usual no longer applies. Familiar analogies include times of war when factories shifted from producing unnecessary consumer goods to what is needed to feed, clothe and arm troops. During these times, civilians accept sacrifice and social cohesion is high because the shared threat is understood. In our current situation, we need to adopt an emergency mode of conduct in politics, business and civic life that achieves the survival goal of sustainability.
While our task is daunting, today's interview will show that it is still possible to stabilize the climate.

Property assessment
Property assessment is the process of placing a dollar value on property for taxation purposes. Provincial Legislation requires that an annual market value assessment be prepared for all properties (the valuation date is July 1 of the year preceding the tax year) and that the condition of the property be recorded (the condition date is December 31 of the year preceding the tax year).
The real estate market establishes the market value of your property; we simply measure it.
The condition of the property is determined through property inspections and residential requests for information.
If you have questions about your assessment, enter an assessment clarification request in County Connect and an assessor will contact you.
Property inspections
Strathcona County property assessors complete on-site property inspections on an annual basis. Assessors may knock on your door for several reasons.
- To assess new construction, newly renovated homes, or building permit inquiries
- To re-inspect property that has sold
- To complete re-inspection of a neighbourhood or property type
If residents are not home, the assessor may leave a callback card to set up a mutually agreed upon time for inspection.
Residential request for information
The residential request for information is a survey sent to property owners to supplement our annual re-inspection campaign. The survey provides an efficient customer orientated avenue for owners to provide property information.
Throughout the year, the Assessment and Tax department will send out a residential request for information survey to select areas. There are three options to complete the survey:
- Complete the hard copy and return it in the prepaid envelope
- Online, using the website address, roll number and survey key number provided on the request for information
- Call Assessment and Tax at 780-464-8196 and give the information to an assessor

I hope you all had a RAD Sunday! Today was a great day for my soul.
First of all I have to say thank you for all of the support and love I received after yesterdays post. It truly means more the I can say.
Even though I have a lot to say right now I am going to keep it short and sweet because my brain is a little overwhelmed right now. Today was so amazing but pretty intense on the emotional side.
I accomplished everything on my list and still made time to spend a few hours at the Spirit and Wellness Expo. The highlights were having an Angel Card reading and spending quality time with two of my favorite ladies, Meg and Steph, these two are so good for my soul. It was all exactly what I needed. The reading was so good it brought me to tears for a few reasons. I will post more on this later as I am still kind of processing it all. I can tell you this though, I have never felt more clear that I am right where I need to be.
I could get used to this self-love thing 🙂
Love & Radiance, C

Thursday, 31 May 2012
She has suggested that my mother come in for a session so she can see what we're working on and also so she can speak to Mary to voice her concerns or maybe just to vent. So I told my mother this and she is very willing to do that. This will probably happen next week.
I also decided to tell Mary about me abusing my meds, it was a big deal for me to tell her as I've never told anyone before, the only person who knows is my mother. I remember my ex-sponsor telling me that we are as sick as our secrets and this was one secret I was glad to get off my chest. She was very understanding and didn't judge me. She is also encouraging me to find more things to do now that the dancing is over so I'm considering joining a zumba class, I've heard it's pretty good.
Usually Mary weighs me right at the start of the session so by now I thought I had got away with it and she had forgotten but no such luck. I was up 0.4kg. I knew this anyway so it wasn't a shock. I mentioned I was starting a fast in my last post and I'm starting it properly tomorrow as I binged and purged today.
So that's it for another day in the life of this messed up girl,
Much love xxx
9 comments:
Hun, I am proud that you found the courage to confide in Mary, I hope that maybe you and of course your mother can find some comfort in allowing your mother to speak to Mary.. I am sure this has been very hard on both of you. I wish you all the best for tomorrow, I apologise if I dont comment or give my regards - I will be at the bfs tomorrow and I try to stay away from blogging so he doesnt find out.. Sorry, know that I am thinking of you and I believe in you. I know you can do anything you put your mind to. You just have to hope and believe that it can be done.. I encourage you to join a new class, it is good to do something you enjoy.ReplyDelete
Good Luck,
Lots of love & hugs xxx
Thanks for the update. I'm glad things went well with Mary and don't even stress that tiny tiny gain. I'm glad that you feel confident enough to tell her and willing to have your mom come in for your session. That will be an eye opener =) Stay beautiful.ReplyDelete
I am glad the meeting went okay. Glad you didn't gain so much at once. That is always good. I know it must be a big deal for you to tell her. I know I would be scared. Congrats there.ReplyDelete
I would be scared to have any kind of session with my mom. I mean we are very close but we like have this weight loss competition thing that we never speak on but is obviously there. There is also a lot of things my mom as hidden from me and I would hate to see it come out during a session.
Sorry to ramble. Look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.
Aww, hugs <3ReplyDelete
To your last post: I do feel like a child quite often and I act like one too from time to time but that's more like my personality ^^. And choise? Not quite, you need to be damn deep in trouble to see this kinda thing as an option and act according those thoughts.
But now to this, glad to see that things are going quite good (except the purging part... not good, dear <3). That was really brave to tell Marry and you should be open the way you are if you want to get a little better.
And zumba is amazing once you get the hang of it. Takes few times, but don't give up on it and go there always with open mind. If my instructor plays air guitar I may think "ok, she's crazy and do it with 200%" :D
Think positive <3
I did a few zumba classes a few months ago, it was really fun, you should definitely try it.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad that things are going well with Mary. Good luck in your fast.
I'm so proud of you for being honest - it's true about being as sick as our secrets.ReplyDelete
Zumba sounds great for you. I hope so much you try it!!
I'm a bit concerned that you are going on a fast. Nothing good ever comes from fasts - they MAKE you binge.
Keep safe, my friend xxx
I'm so glad you found the courage to tell Mary about your meds, well done sweetheart<3 xxReplyDelete
My secret is...some girls were mean to me at school for no discernable reason when I was about 12/13. Strange I can't get past it. I do a lot of CBT but I have obsessive thoughts that's not easily solved. I can't tell anyone IRL other than counselors. It's a real problem sounds tiny but it had lead to faced up behaviour of a magnitude of unbelievable magnitude. xReplyDeleteReplies
That was meant to be *fucked upDelete


text: Dear All, Like Angelo I have made a wiki page to add all the geophytes that grow in the area where I live that I visit in the wild. I'm accumulating quite a few and have just added a few more that I photographed when Uli was here and a couple others I just hadn't gotten around to adding. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Seen with Uli this week: Erythronium californicum Fritillaria affinis Smilacina stellata Those three are all very hard to photograph and I think I'll always be trying to improve. They are usually found in the shade and two of them have white flowers which makes getting leaves and flowers in focus and not part of the picture washed out or too dark very hard. Fritillaria affinis on the stretch where we were walking you usually don't see unless the sun is highlighting it and then part is almost always in the sun and part in the shade. Plus in this spot it is surrounded by poison oak. Other pictures added Bob or I had taken before are Smilacina racemosa, Asarum caudatum, and Zantedeschia aethiopica. You may be wondering why I have included the last one on a page devoted to geophytes found in coastal Northern California. It is naturalized here just like Amaryllis belladonna. Once you have it, you have more, especially if it arrives in seasonal wet places. We didn't have any Zantedeschias on our wiki yet and Zantedeschia aethiopica was some people's favorite white flowered bulb. When I made the Smilacina page I was interested to read how many places they are native with totally different rainfall patterns. I have a couple of patches in my garden of Smilacina stellata that expand each year and I am fond of the leaves. It stays green until some time in the fall and then disappears until February or March. So far I haven't gotten a Smilacina racemosa to germinate as I'd love to add it to my garden, but haven't always found berries the deer left. Bob took pictures of one in fruit last summer and I see I missed my chance to gather seed. We saw a pretty plant in bloom in a private garden in Scotland last May and I have added Bob's picture of it to the new wiki Smilacina page. It too is a challenge to photograph. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue

Product OverviewSee how much easier maintaining a spotless kitchen can be with this Maytag bottom-mount refrigerator. The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish on this sleek fridge requires less cleaning than standard stainless steel finishes to simplify your life. The powerful compressor was built to stand the test of time, and BrightSeries LED lighting conserves energy while illuminating the fridge's interior with bright, natural-looking light. Plus, a Wide-N-Fresh™ Deli Drawer helps to keep cold cuts fresh.
Key Features:
- Temperature-Controlled Wide-N-Fresh Deli Drawer
- BrightSeries LED lighting
- Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel
Temperature Controlled Wide-N-Fresh Deli Drawer
The Wide-N-Fresh deli drawer gives you the convenience to tackle after-school or late-night snack attacks. Complete with temperature controls, it's ideal for keeping items like meat and cheese fresh.
Maytag couldn't add more lights to your kitchen, so they lit up your refrigerator instead. Long-lasting BrightSeries LED lighting is engineered to cast a brighter, whiter light so you won't have to peek around gallons of milk with a flashlight to find what you're looking for.
Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel
Easy-to-clean, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel keeps your fridge looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
