Sail Away

By: Mac Herrison

A great idea for the vacation of your life is to go sailing. Think of the possibilities. The earth is made up primarily of water, so the opportunities are practically endless. One destination is the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Washington state and British Columbia. If you're a novice, you can learn and holiday at the same time. The views off the San Juan and Gulf Islands are truly spectacular. From May to October you can learn to sail with a qualified instructor for as little as $950. When you've completed your course, you'll be ready to make your next vacation a sailing one.

If you choose to sail in this region, you will be in the Pacific Northwest banana belt. People call it this because the climate is mild and the scenery is unmatched. The San Juan's and Gulf Islands offer an abundance of sheltered coves where you can anchor overnight. You won't be able to take your eyes of all the gorgeous scenery during the daytime.

During your sailing instructional period you will have a number of activities to vary your routine. There are small villages dotting the shores. Stop by a local inn for a beer, check out some really remote islands, or even enjoy a massage at an island spa. You may also luck out and see Orca whales frolicking in your vicinity. These beautiful creatures call this area home. Be on the lookout too for otters, bald eagles, seals and porpoises, and the many species of sea birds.

Most sailing vacations offer great accommodation while you are onboard. This sailing vacation in Washington and British Columbia won’t disappoint you. One sailing ship will accommodate four guests in the two double guest cabins. You’ll enjoy meals prepared by an onboard chef when you’re not stopping at one of the many onshore restaurants. This vacation is great for the first time sailor who is trying to get his feet wet before traveling to wilder waters and far away ports.

If you would like something a little more tropical and foreign, think about the British Virgin Islands. It's the perfect locale for honeymooners and couples looking for a romantic, adventurous getaway. The weather is sunny, warm and the Caribbean waters are the perfect place to swim off the side of your sailboat. Have a delicious lunch, and then nod off in the sun on deck. The British Virgin Islands will make for a vacation never to be forgotten.
