What’s a Bowen Moment?

Maybe I should have explained it earlier, but it seemed like stating the obvious - a Bowen moment is one that you remember when you’ve missed the ferry by five minutes, and have to wait an hour in Horseshoe Bay with screaming kids in the back.

A classic Bowen Moment.

Maybe I should have explained it earlier, but it seemed like stating the obvious - a Bowen moment is one that you remember when you’ve missed the ferry by five minutes, and have to wait an hour in Horseshoe Bay with screaming kids in the back. That Bowen moment, reminds you the wait is worth it.

You’ve had so many of these this year, I’m going to assume it was hard to pick just one. Here’s one Ron Woodall sent me, but one from way back, the Bowen moment that made him stay:

 

As our moving truck pulled up to our new home in the cul de sac, both neighbours from both sides were waiting. They jumped into the heavy lifting with the moving crew  because they knew that at the rate we were unloading, the van would be stranded for two and a half hours by the midday ferry shutdown. This level of volunteering would never have happened at our old place, because there were Hummer payments to make. 

 

Thank you, friends and neighbours, for another wonderful year of island life. We’ll be back in 2018.
