Wonderful Thursday out with Vicky ... sailed down towards UBC and back ... wind was wonderful and consistent which pleased Vicky since she didn't have to do much apart from enjoy.

End of my solo trip around Bowen Island and the ferry suddenly appeared and disrupted my quiet sail

Part of my solo trip around Bowen Island ... this was taken in the Collingwood Channel between Bowen and Keats Island ... getting the hang of the boat close hauled as fast as I could go.

Teaching Valencia more about tacking and gybing the boat

July 17, 2010: Sailing north to Pam Rocks. Wonderful day out with lots of wind and sun. Valencia did a good job of steering the boat which made it easy for me to goof off for a change.
