I volunteered coaching for a year, and this will be my second year as a coach […]

In the children’s classic “The Wind in the Willows”, it is described thus: “There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats…or with […]

When Dave and I moved to Gabriola in 1975, we had been members of Nanaimo Yacht Club for many years and had taken an active part in sailboat racing. Soon after our arrival, Dave was working at Silva Bay Shipyard, then owned and operated by Judy and Arne Bentzen. Not much was happening on the water at that time, so we initiated a “Once Around the Flat Tops” race. This was open to any boat (including a canoe with sail) […]
