Our friends Lisa and Bill rented Whitestone Island for a week in July 2002 and invited us up for visit. This is the view from our approach.

Closer, we can see the dock and generator house. Whitestone Island is approx 5 acres and is near Pender Harbour, BC.

Full frontal of the ONLY house on Whitestone. An incredible, swanky scene. Notice the tree growing through the house.

Typical view from the front window.

Whitestone rocked, literally. The Island is a bunch of big rocks and seals liked to sunbathe on them.

Here, Bill and Dino show off the catch of they day, nabbed just a few hundred metres offshore.

Capatin bill in his snazzy shades takes us for a spin.

Poopdeck Paul pretending to drive the boat. Notice his realistic grip on the wheel, as if he's casually averting a capsizing oil tanker.

Ahhh, I just love Whitestone this time of year. (our van is on the mainland in the distance.)

The main living room (aka rumpus room) at Whitestone. Lots of glass makes it bright.

View toward the lower deck of the house.
a072602_whitestone290
Sparkly view towards the upper "barbeque" deck where we would later grill the salmon. See the tree again?
a072602_whitestone300
Indulge us please. Another view of the tree growing through the house.

Lisa and Bill majestic as the spin through the 'hood 'round Whitestone.

Hey Bill, turn starboard, that's right!!
a072602_whitestone350
Hors d'oeuvres time late afternoon at the sundeck bar area on the lower deck.
a072602_whitestone360
"No stop it, Dot!"
a072602_whitestone370
"Cheese is not a sun-block, Lisa."
a072602_whitestone380
Melted cheese and crackers. Enjoyed Whitestone-style.
a072602_whitestone420
"Hey sunburn racoons, say sexy!"
a072602_whitestone430
Shutterbug Paul cracks up the table.

The medieval inspired furnishings provided an alternative to charades.

This is what too much sun can do to you.

"Bill, don't you dare try and come upstairs!"
a072602_whitestone470
"Paul, can you come into the bedroom for a minute...I've got a stabbing headache."
a072602_whitestone480
Paul has reminded the warrior maidens that we must leave Whitestone in the morning.
