🚢 Ahoy, sailors! #Iran wants your cash 💸 before you sail their Strait of Hormuz waters. It's like a toll booth, but with extra layers of #bureaucracy and more fine print than a novel 📜. Enjoy those "mandatory" fees while navigating the sea of #legalese and cookies 🍪!

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.

A Close Shave on Board an American Battleship

Do #sailors always use #nautical miles rather than kilometres? #NauticalMiles
I ask because I was wondering how long it would take to sail from #Iona to #Ballycastle - apparently about 15 hours; maybe a two-day trip with a short rest at #Islay

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.

Took my Mohawk sister-friend, Ojistoh, out for her first sail. Gorgeous weather today & we had some nice breezes on the ocean ☺️⛵️💗

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!

Our rescue rangers came fast & pulled sailboat, far away from the rocks.

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.
Back at RVYC on August 22.
