I am confirmed for first sailing session of 2026 season with #AbleSailVictoria - May 6th! ⛵️
Able Sail Victoria is part of Able Sail Canada - nonprofit organization that offers subsidized #AdaptiveSailing for #PeopleWithDisabilities.
I missed almost all of 2025 season & keen to get on the waters more often, this season.This year, I'll be learning more on the Sonar since I'm already very familiar with the Martin 16 sailboats. I'll also be sailing out of Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club more often. I only sailed out of RVYC Cadboro Bay area in past couple of years with Able Sail program. I also signed up for their new subsidized CANSAIL certification program, in August. That program will be run out of RVYC only. I want to get certification to be able to compete in a future Mobility Cup regatta 😀
Also: Able Sail Victoria is getting behind the movement afoot to bring the #MobilityCup to the West Coast in 2027! #VictoriaBC has hosted the event at the Canadian Forces Sailing Association’s marina in the past and hopefully, this or another venue will be available to us in the near future!

Joyful group of #VictoriaBC #sailors embark on first #SalishSea outing.
A total of 12 clients of the #GarthHomerSociety paired with the #NorthSaanich #SailingClub in their first #partnership.
In partnership with #AbleSail Victoria – a charity providing #AccessibleSailing opportunities for children and adults with #disabilities – the club opened its boats to clients of the Garth Homer Society for a crash course in #sailing.

My #DisabledSailing association, #AbleSail Victoria secured a funding grant from #SailCanada & now can offer a CANSAIL 1 course at Royal Victoria Yacht Club. I signed up this morning for training in August.
Once I successfully complete CanSail 1, I can take their Can Sail 2 course. These will help me reach my adaptive sailing dreams of competing in a future Mobility Cup regatta.Very grateful for all funding grants & donors for helping Able Sail Victoria with monies needed to keep their programs running. Disabled folks like me wouldn't be able to afford participating if the programs weren't highly subsidized.

Excellent 2nd #AdaptiveSailing session today! My instructor today, Kate, is very knowledgeable & keen to help me learn more so I can enter future Mobility Cup regattas. I manned sailboat for almost full session today & she gave me guidance only when needed. There was more breezes so we didn't need to be towed out or back. My next session is on August 4th 😊⛵️
Lunching with Mom on back deck before we get some gardening tasks done 👩🌾 Heading to the Indigenous Music Festival around 5:30pm 🎶🎵 Hampton Park is only 5 minutes from our home & starts at 6pm.

We only got a bit of wind for my first sailing session but Friday forecast calls for cooler temps & more wind on waters. I'll be able to move the sailboat faster! I can try out more tacking & keeling moves. Was able to pick up enough wind, out on open ocean, to keel the sailboat a few times & got waves rushing on/over the gunnels. That was fun & exciting!

From Sunday. We got towed out by Zodiac boat because there was zero wind in the harbour.

My start to para-sailing & getting re-certified for White Sails is delayed because of my dental extractions & not knowing how healing will go. I can't really start my lessons/training until I learn to talk with my immediate dentures, after final extractions. Hoping to schedule for mid-July but shall see how post-extraction healing & learning to eat/talk with dentures go.
I'm really excited though. Been wanting to get back into para-sailing since before covid. Our old program shutdown & Disabled Sailing Victoria disbanded, shortly after we lost our old homebase at CFB Naden because navy was expanding & kicked us out 😔
#AbleSail Victoria started up & offers recreational fun #sailing experiences for #DisabledFolks who just want to enjoy being out on the water, with an experienced sailor. It also offers lessons/training for us disabled folks who want to get certified & be able to race in future regattas.
I've been participating in several different #ParaSports for a few decades. I competed in para-equestrian up to national levels for a few years & also did competitions with non-disabled equestrians. I played sledge hockey for just under 3 yrs & used to help injured NHL hockey players keep up their conditioning, while they also learned how tough sledge hockey is. I've done adaptive biathlons as well.
I refuse to let my #disabilities stop me from living a full, active & joyful life. I will adapt & keep rocking life & looking for more adaptive sports opportunities, for as long as possible!

I'm so excited to get back to #ParaSailling in mid June with #AbleSail in #VictoriaBC!
Odin and Oie are returning to service! Two beautiful Sonars, Odin and Oie, are former #Paralympic Class #sailboats that have a decorated history in #PacificNW #sailing competitions. After several years of sitting idle, they are being returned to service.
