Here are some photos and a little insight into the work. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=24 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=24 On December 21st Martyn and Marg headed back north again by air this time and were rewarded with a absolutely wonderful week of family festivities: the first time in 5 years that all us were together (with a few babies born in the meantime!). And now back to work in 2013 to put our efforts into sending Los Angeles Maritime Institute into another successful 20 years! http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=23 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=23 Our road trip from Victoria to Los Angeles was full of beautiful scenery and enjoyable evening stops along the coast road. Now safely in San Pedro, the harbour for Los Angeles and the home of the twin brigantines, Irving Johnson and Exy Johnson, owned by Los Angeles Maritime Institute. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=22 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=22 After two months of an amazing Indian summer in Nova Scotia, we are now back on the West Coast and heading to a new adventure with the sail training organization, Los Angeles Maritime Institute. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=21 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=21 Our last six weeks here in beautiful, autumnal Nova Scotia have produced many great images and numerous house options. Following are some of those caught on camera. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=20 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=20 After leaving Victoria on August 25th, Martyn and Margaret are enjoying beautiful fall weather at the sea in Nova Scotia. A great adventure completed and we are busy searching the south-west coast for a new home. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=19 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=19 We are sad to leave our many dear friends and colleagues in Victoria but there is excitement at the beginning of a new 'tack' and adventures including the trip across Canada to Toronto. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=18 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=18 The summer in Victoria has given us a chance to renew friendships as well as time for Marg's right knee replacement. The latter was very successful and, with physiotherapy and rest, we are pleased with the well-functioning result! Now on to the adventure of Nova Scotia house-hunting. http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=17 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=17 Our dear Passat sold and off to new adventures http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=16 http://www.clarksmaritime.com/news/?action=view&nid=16 Still enjoying family time in Ecuador, we returned to Quito and then off to a Hacienda near Cotacahi for the weekend. Then, sadly leaving family behind, it was on to Costa Rica for another look, this time at the north coast near Tamarindo. After a week of relaxation on Costa Rica´s Playa Grande it was off to Nicaragua and our first visit to the Corn Islands off the Caribbean coast with is colourful, buccaneering past.
