Some may have not seen this before...enjoy A Christmas story for you all!!
Twas the night before Christmas, I swung on the hook. Passed out on the settee, asleep with my book.
When up on the deck I heard footsteps and stuff: I’ve been boarded! I thought, so I tried to be tough.
Then down the companionway hatch came a dude. He was dressed like a nut and I thought “well I'm screwed”!
But he laughed and he hummed and he surveyed my junk. So I figured he must be the resident drunk.
His eyes were lit up like a junkie on speed. But he gave me a whole bunch of stuff that I need. Like rum and cigars, new charts and a dinghy plus some kind of fancy electrical thingy.
I thought it was stolen but I wasn’t telling. I hoped he was giving and wasn’t just selling.
I poured him a grog which he downed with a wink. Then I poured one for me (I sure needed a drink).
Then he staggered above to the dark tropic night. As I peaked I beheld an incredible sight.
Eight tiny dolphins and a beautiful sleigh. And the dude hopped aboard and prepared to make way. The dolphins were ready to power the sled, but the guy raised a jenny and mains’l instead.
With a burp and a chuckle he gathered the breeze and called to the dolphins now swimming with ease. “On Fatty and Foxy and old Barracuda! On Teva and Mountgay, Antigua, Barbuda! Or whatever your names you cute little fishes, here’s to every last sailor, my best Christmas wishes.”
As he sailed away leaving a wobbly wake, I hoped he had not many stops left to make. He got close to shore and he soon was aground, but the dolphins proceeded to pull him around.
And I heard him exclaim as he sailed out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night !"

As I type this, I am watching the snow fall lightly outside the window and am reminded, that amongst the uncertainty and craziness that was 2021, Mother Earth can still be a peaceful and beautiful place! Watching my 1 year old Border Collie experience snow for the first time was the perfect start to Christmas morning and was a true exhibition of pure joy! As you enjoy the holiday season, I hope you are surrounded by reminders of all that is good in your world, in spite of the challenges that get thrown your way from time to time.
I want to thank all of you for making this little fishing community a great place to hang out all year round, but most of all, on behalf of Peter and myself, I just want to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a healthy and happy 2022!
Cheers!
Brian

Merry Christmas guys. I want to wish you all a great Christmas. This has been the most challenging 2021 for all of us. I am trying to say happy today honestly.
Last night our family dog of 9 years collapsed mid afternoon in snow, and died in backyard from heart attack. I am yet again reminded how fragile life is sometimes. I have had many dogs in my life but this one hurts the most.
Spend time with your family/friends today and don't take them for granted. Life is just too short.
