  1. 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 πŸ˜€ Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!

  2. 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.

  3. 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 πŸ˜Šβ›΅οΈ

  4. 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 β›΅οΈπŸ˜Š

  5. Booked my first #ParaSailing lessons with #AbleSailVictoria ⛡️My first sail session starts this Sunday morning, July 21. My 2nd sail session is July 26th morning & 3rd one is booked for August 4th. These lessons will be running out of #RVYC - #RoyalVictoriaYachtClub, in Oak Bay.
    Later, in August, I'll be sailing out of Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club.

    I will be learning in a #Martin16 sailboat I'm going to try for 1-2 sailing lesson/week. I can't afford more or I'd go more often - saved up to afford these sessions.

  6. 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 πŸ˜Šβ›΅οΈ

    Lunching with Mom on back deck before we get some gardening tasks done πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ Heading to the Indigenous Music Festival around 5:30pm 🎢🎡 Hampton Park is only 5 minutes from our home & starts at 6pm.

  7. 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!
