Sashami with White fish



Hi !

So the fish my Dad and I have been catching are called White fish. They are in Okanagan lake. The season for fishing for them are during the Fall.

The flesh is white, it has a firm texture and a light fish taste. The only problem is that there some small bones that are throughout the meat. The taste is very good though.

Enjoy the pictures.

Canadian Thanks Giving



Hi Everyone,

It was Canada's Thanks Giving today. Usually most family's eat Turkey and mash potatoes vegetables. We ate that 2 weeks ago at another family dinner. So we decided to cook sea food. We had Alaskan King crab, Sea food pasta, fish that we caught today and salad. Oh, and for desert, pumpkin pie.

As I said we went fishing again today. We have been going every weekend. My dad is very happy to do so! So am I.

bye for now

Oct ,10 Update

Hi Everyone,

Things here for me have still been busy. My dads health has been the main focus for us. Work of course has been keeping me busy. I will take some pictures of some of my work soon.

My dad did give me a certificate for golf lessons with a popular golf coach in Kelowna. I took them and enjoyed them very much. It is great to learn a new sport! I be honest my golf swing was not what a good golf swing should be like. He taught me a proper set up (pre hit routine), And proper way to strike the ball. The club head lags back behind everything. It is very difficult to do it. He taught me to start by doing chip shots and pitches. I am slowly getting it. The key is not try to learn the movement with your driver doing full swings. So for us in skiing it is the same thing. We learn the basic movements skiing slowly on flat slopes. Not Going full blast down steep slopes. Also as I said before it takes 10 000 hours to learn a sport to be at the highest levels.

That is why the Canada camp is a great way to start the season. Lots of hours on snow, long runs, on flat to medium slopes. I hope to see some of you in Canada.

Bye for now.

Fishing with Family





Hi Everyone,

So as I said my dad is battling stomach cancer. He is finding things to do that make him Happy. He bought a used truck and camper. Yes, he wants them so he can go on Fishing trips. He is still taking chemo so we must stay close to home. We fished on Okanagan lake at so log booms. fished for white fish. We heard they are good for Sashami. Firm meat.

It is cooling down in Kelowna. I heard it snowed 15 cm in Calgary. Crazy!

Bye for now.
