I've gone sailing a few times. My friend
Piaw
is usually the instigator, but not always.
- 2015 Vancouver/Sunshine Coast
- Sailing on the catamaran Stray Cat along British Columbia's
"Sunshine Coast". More adventure than we wanted, and we accidentally
evaded the worst of it.
- Kraken:
-
Nothing happened on the Raccoon Strait.
- The Very Boring 2005 Sailing Travelog:
-
Less of a sailing description than a name-dropping funfest.
- Sailing bits of the 2004 New Zealand Travelog:
- When I went to New Zealand
I sailed on the
Manawanui in the Bay of Islands
and on the
NZL40 in Auckland.
- The Very Boring 2002 Sailing Travelog:
- I went sailing once in 2003 with Piaw and some of
his Mirapoint friends. Piaw had been laid off, and
was about to get a job at Google. It was a fun sail,
but didn't result in any anecdotes. Sorry about that.
- The Very Boring 2002 Sailing Travelog:
- I went sailing once in 2002. Though two of the people on
the boat ran an
online dating service,
they didn't spill any juicy gossip about their customers.
- The Very Boring 2001 Sailing Travelog
- I didn't do much sailing in 2001. There wasn't much to say.
You probably want to skip this one.
- (Reminder)
- This isn't a travelogue at all. It's a short rant about
protective gear.
- 2000 Sausalito
- I did a lot of things in late October 2000, including a day sail.
Actually, I didn't have much to say about the sail, and a lot about
other things.
- 1999 Seattle/San Juan Islands
- Sailing on the schooner Adventuress around the
San Juan Islands.
My first group-tour sail. My first sail without Piaw.
Angst.
- 1998 Seattle/San Juan Islands/Victoria BC
- Not just a week-long sail in the San Juan Islands, this trip also
had a 24-hour train ride from the San Francisco bay area up to
Seattle. The sailing part includes scary rocks, Canadian customs,
and dangers of mooring without a boathook.
- (Survival Swimming)
- This isn't a travelogue at all. It's a short rant about
the value of swimming skill in the context of sailing
and kayaking.
- 1997 Channel Islands
- My first multi-day sail. Includes a behind-the-scenes look at the
internet gaming industry of the day, a mansion, and a heroic rescue.
- 1996 Tiburon
- My first sail ever. Lovely San Francisco Bay. Landlubberly mistakes. Lunch. Pesky halyard woes.
