Sailing in the Gulf Islands
In July we traveled aboard Singawing with Andrea and Matt. I found myself peeling off the layers of everyday concerns, while melting into the visual beauty of the surroundings. Each morning began with my one year old son and I sitting quietly in the cockpit watching and listening to the early morning fish leaping. The smell of rich coffee brewing and then a mug delivered through the porthole at my feet. It was the first taste of relaxation in years.
During the day, we were exploring islands, kayaking, hiking, sailing, observing wildlife, and watching sunsets. Both adventurous and high-spirited, Andrea and Matt have an incredible understanding of the seas we traveled. Matt was raised on these waters and is impressive with his depth of information and passion to impart. They introduced us to Tamar Griggs, a Photographer from Salt Spring Island, who invited us to tea at her home on Bold Bluff. Andrea and Matt provided every detail imaginable and beyond. Here are some highlights from the trip.
