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.

I'm still struggling with PTSD triggers & am grateful for day off work today. I'm going sailing. I have 2 more long work days before taking a full week off work for Vancouver Island Adaptive Snowsports training next week - something I've been waiting on getting back into for 4 years.
Kicking off 2025 on a positive note with my first time #sailing in the annual Not a Whaler fundraiser fun regatta, co-hosted by #CanadianForcesSailingAssociation & #AbleSailVictoria. I'll be on the Big Foot sailboat, with CFSA skipper, Ryan Kaye. Registration is at noon. Race fun starts at 1:30pm. It will be a great time on the waters. We are sailing out of CFSA Baker Dock, at CFB Naden base in #Esquimalt in #VictoriaBC on #VancouverIsland in #BritishColumbia. I'll be at CFSA HQ until around 4pm.

*I'm awaiting to hear back on which crew I'll be placed with for upcoming Not a Whaler #sailing event.*
The annual Canadian Forces Sailing Association’s #CFSA Not A Whaler Race is taking place on January 1, 2025 at the Canadian Forces Base #Naden, #Esquimalt Harbour. #Sailors will gather at the Sail Training dock. Boats pay $20.00 and each crew member wanting post race food and drink (chili including vegetarian and alcoholic and non-alcoholic Moose Milk (a Navy tradition) will pay $10.00. We invite our ASV members to join in the post race celebrations or perhaps on a boat as we do have skippers happy to take folks out, however, you will need to be able to negotiate getting in and out of boats without a lift and up and down companion ways of boats. If you are interested in being a crew member on a boat for $10.00 you will need to provide your name and contact beforehand so we can place you on a suitable vessel. You will need to arrive at the docks at 1200. The race itself commences at 1:30 pm for about 1-1.5 hours with boats returning to the docks for the apres sail festivities. You can join in the apres sailing festivities and enjoy chili and libations for $10.00 but please RSVP to [email protected] for either crewing or eating.
CFSA has a long history of supporting accessible sailing in Victoria as it was the program provider since #DisabledSailing came into being in the early 1990’s. CFSA supported the association with space, moorage and assistance with equipment, volunteers and training staff.
Currently CFSA has had to change the location of their marina resulting in the dock not being accessible until the marina development is completed. Despite not being able to host the sails for the former Disabled Sailing Association (now #AbleSailVictoria (ASV), CFSA has continued to support the programs by #fundraising with the Not A Whaler Race and providing storage space for the program’s equipment during the off season.
https://www.ablesailvictoria.com/calendar/not-a-whaler-race
If you or your family or friends would to make a donation to Able Sail Victoria you can do so directly: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/103503
This will help us to continue our successful programs for which we charge $20.00 while the cost to provide the program is $130.00 per sail. We thank you for being members of ASV and for providing support for this worthwhile program.

Party waves. Not really. So many boats were out today. These weren't as big as some other wake waves from powerboats. I couldn't film anything when those larger wakes hit us because I was busy angling sailboat to counter them.

Astrid(on the left) gave me some good news when I returned from my sail today. The Able Sail Victoria program will be extended into September. I'm stoked! I can get in more sailing practice 😃👍⛵️

I had a fantastic sail adventure today. Took my friend, Nadene, out for her first Martin 16 sailing experience. She loved it & took a ton of photos. We had fab winds on the waters today & I got to do a lot of keeling 😀 Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!

My first sailing accident. Got caught on rocks. I was able to dislodge sailboat but waves kept pushing us back towards rocks.

Visibility was almost nil on waters for most of my session. I found some pockets of wind & took advantage of those, as often as I could.

It was really foggy out on the ocean today!
Almost no winds until we reached mouth of the bay. I was happy to take Mom out for her very first sailing experience ☺️ She found it to be very relaxing. We saw some seals, mergansers, few American coots & a couple of buffleheads.

I had a great first solo #sailing session this afternoon. Winds were tricky today. Winds changed directions 5 times in 2 hours. Lots of adjustments on my sails today.
I got yacht club approval to take my Mom out as my passenger, for her very first sailing adventure, tomorrow morning! I'm pretty stoked about that. Mom has never been in any sailboat before! I'm not taking her very far because she gets scared of open ocean (while I love open ocean!). It will be very nice to take my Mom out for her first sailing experience 😊⛵️

#RVYC #AbleSailVictoria crew in #ZodiacBoat - heading out to set an upwind marker near mouth of the bay for me to practice sailing a set course & do some figure 8s maneuvering around. Good practice to build up adaptive #sailing navigation & steering skills on my solo practice sails.

Saving some time by getting towed out to sailing practice course markers, by one of the #RVYC safety/coach #ZodiacBoats.
I'll upload brief clip of sailing back to marina after practicing some demo race course navigation, soon. Had some nice winds during my first solo adaptive #sailing session today ⛵️😊

Waiting for clearance to tie up boat. Sailing slowly around marina.
There was a big fancy yacht moored at entry to marina. It had a runner boat tied to it that cost more than 2 of our family vehicles combined.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4tPJcgIJaBQ

#AbleSailVictoria at #RVYC was booked solid today. I arrived early & was waiting for a boat to return. Today, a #PowerChair #DisabledSailor was out for first afternoon session. ASV has a lift on the dock for people who need to safely transfer from #wheelchair into #sailboat.
