You might know me better as Andy Mathisen from Snug Cove on Bowen Island circa 1965-1975 or so? Sly used to be our big, black lab dog. I have an Andrew Mathisen FB page BUT Ray & I have not set up a "Peaches" FB page yet...though it may be a good idea soon? The seeds of our project were planted back in the early 70's when Ray's father (a postman in Horseshoe Bay) finally built his dream boat in his backyard there. The whole family sailed away for many years throughout the Pacific...Mom, Pop, 3 kids and a cat!I joined them on a few journeys. Years later, Ray and his wife duplicated the trip with their kids on their own boat. I also deckhanded with them from Alaska to Frisco...and later, Tahiti. We had always mused about doing an adventure book for kids using the cat as the focal point. Our adventures are an amalgam of both Ray's trip and his father's earlier journey. Ray IS an accomplished artist and I have been known to scribble the odd poem and story. About a year ago or more we started the project in earnest.The first book is slowly taking shape. We envision a series of books exploring various Pacific regions in each. The cat gets into various adventure with the local fauna and learns life lessons as he travels with the family. Loads of fun!slydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957675145092674136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60640136737405043.post-84547379940986195922014-06-16T07:42:03.160-05:002014-06-16T07:42:03.160-05:00Good morning "Slydog" - tell me more abo...Good morning "Slydog" - tell me more about your project .....
