If it’s a dream Terry don’t leave it to late. Sometimes the end of sailing comes before we are truly ready for it. This past summer showed me that I am not as spry as I once was to the point of being less safe than I would like.
Agree Michael. That remains top of mind as the ravages of age creep into my body. Who knows, in a couple of years that bridge may arrive and I will be forced to cross it. But until then...Sometimes the end of sailing comes before we are truly ready for it.
It's on my list, John. Hope it works out.You can always test the waters by cruising around Vancouver Isle with us in June 2022.
We would benefit from your experience.
Our plan sets sail mid to late June and will likely stop in Anacortes for fuel before heading north. I'll give you a call at 306/326-1414 when we get closer. It would be nice to see you again. It's been awhile.Maybe get a chance for a face to face on your way North.
Are you up for joining our little flotilla this season? Always a plus to sail with other boaters. We're never in any hurry to get to our next anchorage a few miles away to begin skipper's night, an every night fun fest. The most difficult question that comes up during these celebrations is whether to stay another day or not. Often we end up staying, especially with so many spectacular BC anchorages.We are getting ready for a haul out and bottom job next week so we should be ready for the good weather when it gets here.
We are always open for a meetup Terry. So far we have no plans written in stone. A little slow to answer that. Didn’t take my I-pad to town with me. We are home again after bottom cleaning, two coats of paint, new zincs and a survey. All is right with our world.Are you up for joining our little flotilla this season?
Great, Michael. We can sort things out as we get closer to a date mid to late June.We are always open for a meetup Terry.
Rodd, if we could help you as much as you’ve helped us over the years you’d be sailing tomorrow. Unfortunately all I can do is say “thank you”..I would give anything to be able to sail again
Rodd, on behalf of all of us here on SBO and the other forums you participate in thank you for all you have done and shared. We first crossed paths 13 years ago when you were hanging out on the Sabre list and my S30 fell over while on the hard. You have been an inspiration since.At least you get to go out on your own terms.One minute I was a normal active & healthy 52 year old next thing I know I am in the hospital24/7 for 3+ months. I lost my business and the left side of my body. I was forced to sell the boat my antique car that was a standard, most of the tools in my woodshop etc., etc..Be happy you get to go out on your terms not via a major health issue..I would give anything to be able to sail again but the Universe had different plans...
Thank you Rodd for all you've done for us with your expertise. Life is so short, all we can do is live each day to the fullest, take what comes in stride and always have a purpose. My day will come, too. Sooner than later, I'm sure. Chin up!Be happy you get to go out on your terms
I'm assuming you have FaceTime abilities with your iPad? Ditto here. Maybe later today we can make an introduction call? Put a face to the name, so to speak.Didn’t take my I-pad to town with me.
