  1. Woohoo! I'm so happy that #AbleSail #VictoriaBC has opened up their season early this year! It opens up on April 15 at one of our 2 locations! North Saanich Sidney Yacht Club location has registration open now 😁⛵️

    I'll be back on the waters this Spring 🤩
    I missed almost all of last season due to work commitments.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. I'm overly excited about getting back into #AdaptiveSailing tomorrow morning! I'm out on waters at 10 AM. I'm going to arrive early as I'm not familiar with the marina setup there. It's my first time back at #ParaSailing in 10 yrs. I used to train with disabled sailing association Victoria before it was disbanded. I'm now learning with Able Sail Victoria.

  7. #AbleSailKingston’s coach boat, an 18-foot rigid hull inflatable boat, was being stored temporarily at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour when someone stole it & its trailer on May 24 or 25.

    The boat, a white 2000 Zodiac 550 Pro with a 115-horsepower Evinrude outboard motor, was bought last year and cost about $14,000, money that took the #charity six years to raise.

  8. 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.
