When we live in our restored 1948 bus, I get to write with a view to anywhere. This is the bus that my character, Mary Swift, lives in too. We share it.
Electrical panel innards. Frightening to me, but a good book to Jaak.
The electrical panel holds the secret to hot water.
Camping at Nitinaht, West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Jaak is a retired sea captain, now he’s crafted our land yacht.

Our sometimes live-aboard home is a 1948 MCI bus made in Canada. Jaak and I used to live aboard boats, so we finished the bus inside like a sailboat. We run bio-diesel from recycled oil from French fries. Well, not just French fries, probably fritters and tempura too. You can check out more pics of our bus on my Facebook page.

Camped on the beach in Mexico
Our winter road trip; Mt. Baker’s tough driving means fabulous snowboarding and skiing. The bus weighs ten tons – when she starts to slide down an icy hill you wish you’d stopped to put the chains on first.

We camped in so many ski hill parking lots. This one was Mt. Baker, or Hood Meadows.
Pam going kiteboarding in la Ventana. After 15 years kiting, switched to wing-foiling. Fun!
The view out our front windows; thank you, universe.
Rear compound-curves windows with two drawers underneath. Jaak sweated over finishing these.
