Stalked by a Raft of Sea Lions – Ep. 60

On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we talk about the silver linings of life on the dock in British Columbia. This season was never part of the plan, but it has given us something we didn’t even realize we needed: time. Time to breathe, time to recover, time to actually enjoy the process again, and time to feel that excitement coming back instead of just grinding through another list. We talk honestly about how burnt out we were when we arrived, how much it impacted all of us, and why this slower stretch has helped our family come back to ourselves.

You will hear about Val being stalked by a “raft” of sea lions on a paddleboard, the cursed dock stairs that have become a daily glute workout, and the unexpected gift of friends and family making the trip to visit us up here. We talk about Sunday dinners with Lou and Judy, the new friendships the kids have made, and the most meaningful silver lining of all: Ren having real friends who come invite him to do things, and watching him step into that in a way we’ve never seen before. It is an honest conversation about detours, perspective, and why maybe we’re not behind at all, maybe we’re right where we’re supposed to be.
