Our Retirement Lifestyle


Our musical activities

Steve and Deborah Gilchrist


We retired from elementary teaching a dozen years ago.  Steve is an "urban farmer" with a large vegetable garden.  He plays tennis twice a week.  Together we stay busy by running community centre music programs three times a week: vintage jazz, celtic/bluegrass, and mid 20th century pop.  We have a contra dance band.  Deb is a ukulele player, skilled cook, and extreme shopping guru - very useful during inflationary times.
Until the Covid 19 pandemic, we were sailors, world travelers, and hosted Couchsurfers, Workaway and Helpx travelers from Europe, Asia, South America and Australia/New Zealand.

Two of our favourite charities are Kiva and AMSF:
