While I love to angle for choice cod and plaice, it never hurts to know the coordinates of a good local chippy. There are times after all, when I just want to eat the stuff.

Times Colonist article on fishing on Vancouver Island
June is the month for fishing Vancouver Island’s many wonderful lakes.

New Site Design!
As my loyal readers have surely noticed, NimmoBay.bc.ca has a great new look. Helping me was my young grandson Jayson who owns his own business at 15! Boy, times sure have changed.
Jayson says this new design will sure be a lot easier to use and I think that’s a great thing.
Look forward to some more [...]

I was watching CTV the other day and saw an piece about sea lion entanglement off the coast of Vancouver Island. This is one that is concerning BC marine animal experts (and me too!). They are saying that people should not be discarding things into the ocean after a sea lion was recently entangled in [...]
Ain’t What She Used to Be…
Boy have I got a story for you. Every couple of months me and Susan head to the city to go to the Costcos to get our sundries and such. Sure is something I look forward to ever since I had one of them there Costcos Hot Dogs and free samples they give out. Me [...]
