Here’s a long overdue update for everyone who may be wondering where we are hanging our hats these days.

🤿🐠🐡After two years of owning and operating our Dive Center on the coast of Oaxaca, we’ve decided to sell it and move back to Canada. Many factors tipped the scale. While the diving was amazing, owning and managing a small business in a foreign country was extremely challenging and didn’t leave us much time to keep exploring and enjoying our ‘retirement’. Zeus’s health was also a concern. At 8 years old, he is slowing down, and the heat was very difficult for him to manage.
❄️⛷So we found ourselves back in Ontario in the spring and chose Collingwood, Ontario, to call home for the next year. We’ll give it an honest try at loving winter in this active community on the shore of Georgian Bay and the foot of Blue Mountain.
🐕Since our return, we’ve focused on Zeus’s health. He recovered from a torn ACL and had his left eye removed due to a tumor. He has been doing so much better since then! He enjoys his short, slow walks on neighborhood trails to watch for bunnies and he looks forward to winter so he can munch on ice chunks again.
💪We also both caught up on health tune-ups, which can be difficult while living on the road. From prescription renewals to laser eye surgery for Ken and injections for Andréane’s frozen shoulder, we now feel like we are regaining control of our bodies.
🛩Ken was quick to find himself a new project. He is now the proud owner of a Foxkit ultralight airplane! and his working diligently to improve it while completing his private pilot license.
🏍😻Andréane is taking a little more time to reinvent herself, but she is happy to reconnect with old friends and a steady running schedule. She is currently fostering a mama cat and her four kittens, which fills her days and her heart. And just recently, developed an interest for trail riding and bought a KLX300.

So, if you are ever in the Georgian Bay area, keep an eye in the sky for Ken, or one in the woods for Andréane. Zeus and the kittens are easy to find, snuggling at home!

Cañon del Sumidero, Chiapas Mx.
Starting from Chiapa de Corzo, a pueblo mágico and the first Spanish-founded town in Chiapas, you can board a lancha and begin a 2 hours long ride down the Rio Grivalja. This 480km long river starts in Guatemala and ends in the Golf of Mexico. But its highlight are the 1000 meters high cliffs on either side. In the 16th century, 15,000 Chiapaneca people jumped to their death from these cliffs, into the them raging river, rather than submit to Spanish enslavement. Today, the river has been tamed by two hydroelectric dams and we can calmly admire the beauty of the canyon with its crocodiles, spider-monkeys and thousand of birds.
If you haven’t heard about the Isthmo, make a quick research. This is the shortest distance between the Pacific and the Golf of Mexico which creates a bottleneck for the wildlife, the reason why this region has the most diverse amount of species between North and Central America 🐒🐊🦩
