Ben's Barge -Nov 2012

Decided to take Liam to Ons Tweede Huis in November 2012. First time I had every been here in November. We hitched a ride on buddy Ben's Barge. Took us 5hrs. Liam loved it. Until he fell asleep. We took a floatplane home. We spent 5 days in the cabin. Man is it dark here this time of year. Only light from 9-4. Some very big tides also. My lasting memory was one night when me and Liam were going to sleep. It was about 8pm. It had been pitch black dark for 3.5hrs already. We are in the loft..in our sleeping bags. It is raining soo hard and the wind is shaking the cabin. Pitch black. Nearest phone or help is at least a 30min walk through wet westcoast bush. Liam is sleeping right beside me. He says "dad I'm a little bit scared". Dad answers "I'm a little bit scared too". Hopefully trips like this build character..good character.
We spent a bunch of time prepping the cabin for a Spring 2013 trip. We cleared the front area and started on foundation work for big deck.
 We also two wolves. Quite close..sorry no pictures..so i guess it didn't really happen then.
