I'm unable to keep doing my past #SledgeHockey #parasports because my osteoporosis specialist says it's too dangerous for me now because of lowered bone density & higher risk of not being able to recover from accidents. That really sucks because I loved playing/training in sledge hockey. I was one of only 3 women on #VancouverIsland involved in that #sport.

Two photos from my prior sledge #hockey life:

- in BC Games jersey with my hockey helmet on & giving a what are you saying look to my coach(out of view). It was the day he moved me off defensive line & put me on offensive line because I was too aggressive on defensive & kept slamming much larger male players straight into the walls to steal the puck 🏒🥅😆

- my first & only training camp with Canadian #Paralympics womens' sledge hockey team & coaches, in Vancouver. I'm wearing the number 12 jersey. I was the only woman on the island who got accepted into that training camp.

Awesome news 😀 I got early notice that my application for 2025 VISSA program was processed & I've been accepted to participate. I'm participating in annual Herb Bradley Snowsports Festival - with all gear & lessons covered for Nordic. I haven't tried their Nordic program yet & am stoked to learn! I booked a day for more sitski training too - it's only $10 for program participants.

Ojistoh, my Mohawk sister-friend, is going with me as my support friend & personal assistant.

I am SO EXCITED!
It's been 4 years since I was last able to participate in adaptive snowsports!

These photos are from my lessons in 2020.

I'll find out in November if I will get a spot at 2025 VISSA at Mt. Washington. I want to try out their adaptive Nordic program, if I get in. I also want to practice more sitski because I'm interested in doing races if I can get good enough to qualify for competitive racing in the future. I loved riding it down from the Eagle lift summit a few times when I was accepted into program in 2020.

I love Winter & being up on the mountains in snow. I just don't have many opportunities to go up mountains in snowy Winter.

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.
Back at RVYC on August 22.

#Sailing back into #RVYC marina. Picked up some wind on way back in & had fun 😃⛵️

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 ⛵️😊

I had fun #sailing in the fog today. Zorah sat in stern seat & monitored the safety radio as I sailed around #CadboroBay waters.

Sailing & ocean view photos from docks & sailboat will be coming, after my first #AdaptiveSailing session with #AbleSailVictoria on Sunday morning! I'm so excited to get back into #ParaSailing after a very long hiatus! Hoping to start getting certified for #WhiteSails so I can race in regattas in the future 🙏 ⛵️💗
