SailTime Sailing Is the Ultimate Stress Reducer

Published by sailtimeci under Sailing

Given the latest rounds of bad news, people are looking for stress reducers in their lives. For me, sailing is the cure for stress in my life. Maybe it could be for you too ! Sailing is inherently all about the journey and not the destination. Which, in and of itself, is a great stress reducer. But, if you own your own boat, you only get to do the stress dump after taking care of all the small and large things your sailboat requires to keep running safely. So, its quite possible that boat ownership alone can add to your stress instead of reducing it…

Captain Dan and I working on our stress busting skills in the BVI

That is why SailTime makes even more sense ! Sailing a SailTime boat is the ultimate stress reducer. Why ? Well, for one, you dont have to own the boat to have this much fun. And if you want to be a boat owner you can do it for a fraction more stress than just being a member. Boat owners and regular SailTime members don’t have to stress out over the increasing costs of insurance, the spiraling costs of berthing the boat, or having to decide whether this is the day you clean the boat or do needed maintenance instead of enjoying a sail on her. All you do, is show up and go sailing. You arrive to a sparkling clean boat at a modern marina slip, head out for a couple hours or even a couple days. When you are done, you just clean up after yourself and go home.

If you are looking for a great stress buster, consider adding sailing to your lifestyle. I guarantee it will do the trick in your stressful life.

Annual BVI Trip on the Horizon

Published by sailtimeci under SailTime

For the past several years, I have had the good fortune of introducing the British Virgin Islands to SailTime sailors. Talk about a labor of love ! It has come to the point where I very nearly expect to be going every Fall. For a while, we went two times a year; Spring and Fall. But, now we have settled into a seasonal rhythm of BVI in the Fall and someplace new to sail and discover in the Spring. The BVI is where we hold our N2C “Graduation” for SailTime members who are ready to bareboat charter a sailboat in a foreign land.

Then, in the Spring, members who have been to the BVI can join us on the Captains Cruise to somewhere new in the world. Next June, it will be the Sea of Abaco. I’m really excited for the upcoming adventure in the BVI. We are going to graduate two new Captains from our base while sailing a route we are calling Side B, as in, a different route than we have perfected over the past half dozen trips.

Side B starts on Nov. 7th with a short jaunt across the Drake Channel to Cooper Island for some great snorkeling and the fine hospitality of Chris and his team at The Beach Club. Then, its on to North Sound so I can give Josie, at Saba Rock, a new hat ! From there, we will head across the Anegada Passage to Anegada Island and its famous crustaceans. As long as the wind does’nt blow from the West, which it did last year… we will have a glorious downwind sail to Jost Van Dyke where I am hoping it will be settled enough to spend a night at Diamond Cay just off Little Jost. The following day we have to stop at Sandy Spit and get a T-shirt at Foxy’s before running over to Cane Garden Bay for more than the Callwood Rum! We’ll conclude our cruise with the proper last night at The Bight of Norman Island.

There are three flotilla groups from SailTime, including ours, who will be down the same week. Jonathan and the UK contingent are coming over and an “official” N2C being run by corporate as well. This year, I luck out big time. I go back again in December to lead a group from Texas - yee haw !
