Captain's Log
With two small kids my time for outdoor adventure has diminished. However I'm now trying to find activities that will suit my new lifestyle. This blog will follow my outdoor pursuits in general and this year will focus a lot on my experimentation with sailing.

Today we went to The Baths. It was about a 15-20 minute taxi ride from our hotel and we were wearing Avery in the Bjorn. When we got there it was about a 10 minute hike down to one of the most gorgeous beaches we have ever seen. Massive boulders ...
Surfing at Josiah's Bay in the British Virgin Islands
So we went surfing today in the BVI's. It was Dave, MJ and myself. MJ had never surfed but was super-excited. Dave had taken a lesson for an hour in Maui so their enthusiasm was contagious for me. We are staying on Virgin Gorda so we had to take a ...

Redstone Lake for Easter
We went up to the cottage on the weekend to celebrate Easter with friends and family. The weather was unseasonably cold and so there wasn't much outdoor activity going on given that it was too cold for Jack (aged 2) to really go out and enjoy the outdoors. I did ...

I've joined sailtime for the summer and have some certifications that I have to achieve in order to be ready to sail. One of those is the V.H.F. Radio Operators Certificate. I took the course over the last two nights and tonight was the final exam. Thankfully I passed and ...
36 Hunter with Sailtime
So I got the news today that Anke and I have been accepted on a Hunter 36 with Sailtime in Port Credit. While we would have certainly preferred to be at the Outer Harbor since it is closer to our house, it at least ensures that we will be sailing ...
