A Wish List Looking for Champions!

DSA Victoria

July 11, 2017

As a follow-up to a recent article in this newsletter about the Disabled Sailing Association at the Canadian Forces Sailing Association Yacht Club, I asked the instructor, Jamie Hargreaves, “if she had a wish list, what would it be?”

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
