Introducing The New "Porters Lake Express" a.k.a. "The Suzie Jack"


I finally broke down and bought a new to me boat, The "Porters Lake Express". Shes a 14'3 PrinceCraft Yukon with a 25 Evinrude. Can't wait to try her out this spring. A big thanks to Jay for helping me pick her up.

Christiansen's Coming Home

It's official, we are heading home July 26 - August 9, 2012. Tickets bought. We still need somewhere to stay. Probably not the whole 14 days, but a good 7-9 day stretch in the same place. Focus on the first part of the 14 days, we are looking at spending 3-4 days in PEI towards the end. We are not that picky but would like our families (both sides) to have the option to stay a night or two, either in the rental property or tent on site. It would be ideal to have somewhere on or near a beach for swimming, 3 bedrooms (sleep 6 +), and within one hour of Halifax. We can consider cabins, cottages, rent a house, etc. Please let me know what you can find. We have some options on cottages.ca but it's hard to get dates around that part of the summer (tall ships, Buskers, and great weather) and it's very expensive. Guess what 5 plane tickets just ran us? We need to try and stay cheaper than the standard (bend over) $1200 a week at the on line cottage rental properties.

Phil's parents house, Barry's house, if my parents are still in their house we might rent the one next door (but that would be very last minute), etc.
