About

Living on Vancouver Island allows me to spend my time sailing in the beautiful waters of Nanaimo BC and the Gulf Islands. Nanaimo has beautiful walking trails and bike trails along with countless other things to do on Vancouver Island and the neighboring Gulf Islands.

Facts

As you can tell from my website.... I love the water. I used to Scuba Dive in the 1980's - 90's and then in 2010 I took a Sailing course and was bitten by the sailing bug and have been sailing ever since. I have sailing certifications from both ISPA (International Sail and Power Academy ) & ASA (American Sailing Association) Sailing organizations.
