When I asked "North Oyster Bob" if I could use the publication he wrote back:
"C:\Users\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\last lost post - er? No he didn't but that's what was in my cut&paste, I'll have to try again:
"Ya, The Lost Post certainly was blogging. Except it involved typing very carefully on sheets of real paper, cutting it up, pasting it down (cut and paste!) along with line art work and then getting them printed on the sly at (Edit) College's print shop.
Sure, use it. But mention somewhere that it was the official publication of Lost Shirt Productions (for the Cedar Hall concerts) and the Yellow Point Hysterical Society.
Whaddya mean, how do you cut and paste on a Mac? You highlight the text or pic, right click or go to Edit and select cut and then paste."
So I asked if he had any old copies of the newsletter and he sent the one below so I printed it and took a picture of it thumbtacked to a post in my yard.
He also sent an earlier copy which was more elaborate but uses some large words so I have yet to read it.

The picture below lets you look through and old Arbutus (Madrona) stump. The point of land in the view is nearly perfect "Due South" and the log in the foreground is hollow so I took a similar photo through it. We finally got back to the cabin and walked around a bit on the small island. I'm exhausted - have not walked that much for a years or two.I'll post some more pictures, not tonight, though.Later: I'll try to describe the existing hole these pictures were take...

This wagon showed up with the floor all rotted out - likely from the stuff Tloml salvaged from a friend's 'estate". Pulled it apart and put a new flooring (the running gear bolt to the floor). Looked around for some paint and came up with a light purple which can be seen in true color in the shadowed left on the floor.The "Country Estate" has now a few more years of useful life.

BriarCraft left a comment on one of my photos so I went back looking for related stuff like the picture below that was taken the same day.Then I got lost in Wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koprivshtitsaespecially the history of the town.In 1876 my paternal ancestors had been a few years in B.C.

Ran down south with the new GPS through Sansom. Minor lumps and swirls. Tied up at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Museum and wandered in. Some good displays of small boats and old hardware - Vivian Engines and whatnot.Talked to the folks at the office - I want to give them my old jet boat.M.V."R-Billy" is pretty in her lines but needs some attention.Coming home was slightly rougher but not bad.Chartplotter is just fine. even warned us off some shallows which we run over...
