Gewgaws along the dock, Genoa Bay, BC.

Note the solar powered lawn lamp we use an anchor light. Ask me if I'm clever! That green thing is covering our barbecue grill - which Rebecca "loves," but we've use just once. Here we are sailing through the narrow entrance into Tod inlet.

If I didn't already have a boat . . . .

Yeesh, what happened to all my hair? BTW, that's a Greenland style kayak paddle (aka: a stick), that I use, which works as well as "Euro" style paddles, and which also has some advantages over them, too. Note the low freeboard on my boat, which is a very low-volume kayak, designed to be easily rolled. It is that - and it makes for a great day paddler, too, as long as I don't spend more than a couple of hours in it at a time (it fits tight, with little foot or wiggle room).
