Ken McVay - Leisure time

I love dragon boats, dragon boat paddlers, and my incredibly beautiful Vancouver Island home.

Living on central Vancouver Island has also provided me with many wonderful opportunities to extensively photograph my home town of Nanaimo as well as Island scenes in general. There's no lack of beautiful scenery, interesting activities or fascinating people!

I've also been a Blues and Doo Wop fan all my life, probably because both genres were popular during my youth, so I've found it fun to create a lot of Squidoo lenses about the Blues, Blues artists, and Doo Wop. I hope you have fun exploring them.

Three reasons to love me :-)

or "Who says I have an ego?"

I'm a nice guy. I enjoy coaching, I enjoy walking around Buttertubs Marsh, and I enjoy baking with exotic sourdough cultures.

I also smoke a mean turkey, so if you hear "Bar-B-Q", y'all come right on down!



I enjoy Island life immensely, and love sharing it with you.

Oh darn! That's five reasons :-)

West Coast Dragonboat Festival

Sproat Lake Provincial Park, Port Alberni, British Columbia

A MARS Water Bomber appears to float in the ether as thick morning fog begins to clear just in time for the Dragonboat races.

Dragonboat racing is one of the most popular participation sports on the planet, and the fellowship it creates is quite amazing.



That's me - the big guy on the starboard side, wearing a watch cap.

Hope you find a few of these lenses of interest!

Amazon Spotlight Personal Review 

Stranger in a Strange Land

Amazon Price: $6.19 (as of 02/14/2012)Buy Now

This is one of my two favorite Heinlein novels (the other's called "Time Enough for Love") - If you only buy one, however, this is it.

I love my Weber Bullet! 

Weber 731001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 22.5-Inch Smoker

Amazon Price: $375.00 (as of 02/14/2012)Buy Now

I've enjoyed my Weber smoker, affectionately known worldwide as "the Bullet," since 2003. Dollar for dollar, time after time, it delivers more bang for the buck than anything else I've run across. Drop by the next time I smoke a pair of turkeys and see if you don't agree!
