Holy crap!

Holy crap, we're actually touring on a sailboat!!

We're hanging out on the boat at Deep Cove private marina. Not the real deep cove, the small one on Vancouver Island. Adam forgot his power adapter and we're pretty hungry, so I'll keep this pretty quick.

Saturday we played on Mayne Island with Blue Richard and the Apricots, which was a lot of fun because they are amazing. Rachel and Anna played their Violas during our set too, making for some really special moments. Sunday we played on Mayne to a small but awesome audience at the community centre there. Then on Monday morning we headed to the sailboat which was moored at Horton Bay, and headed out through some pretty intense tidal action and then some huge waves in Plumper Sound, much to the quickening in heart rates of all involved. Made it alive to Port Browning on Pender Island, where we hung out the dock for a while until it was time to go to our show at Dan and Everest's amazing house. We played there to an even smaller and more intimate crowd and had a really good night. Everest lent me this amazing antique briefcase silkscreening kit, all wood and brass. I'm really excited to try it, it's just about the most incredible and gorgeous device I've ever seen. I'm gonna try and do the next album art with it, I think.

This morning we lazed around for awhile at the house, had breakfast on funny rhyming animal plates, and then set off from Port Browning. We had some very .... interesting sailing for a while. Again with the heart rates. We also saw a pod of Orca whales, which was completely stunning.

Anyways, so here we are at the Deep Cove private marina like I said, and here's some pictures:










Next Stop.... well... who knows. But then, Duncan! Oh yeah, we're playing at the garage on the 5th! With O'Mally and David Simard! Wheeee!

See y'all!
