Cadboro Bay Sailing Association

CBSA Race

Feb 6, 2017

If you live in the Victoria BC area and are planning your activities for the spring and summer and want to find out if sailing’s for you, then there is a terrific dinghy club in Cadboro Bay.

The mandate of the Cadboro Bay Sailing Association is to provide open access to recreational sailing at an affordable cost. With the support of the District of Saanich they are able to provide access to those who otherwise may not have the means to get out on the water.

They are an open community of dinghy sailors who operate the club on a volunteer basis. They welcome new membership applications. They are not strictly a racing club either – They are a dinghy club first and many of the members sail regularly but do not race.

If you are interesting in getting out on the water with the Cadboro Bay Sailing Association I encourage you to join, and add you name to the crew list and/or get on the waiting list for boat storage.

For more information on what the club is about please contact the club at membership@caddybay.ca or drop by on a Tuesday evening as we are heading out for a race this Spring.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
