Adult Voyage

Aye, lad, and here ye go...

 

It was with some trepidation that I boarded the "Fair Jeanne" that Sunday morning in September. No real sailing experience, late in the season, and one very large ship with no-one I knew aboard. I almost didn't go through with it, but it was a gift, so off I went. It was exactly what I was hoping for! Adventure, learning, and meeting new people without any pressure to perform to a standard I didn't have. A caring, knowledgeable crew anxious to "show me the ropes" and help me find my comfort zone. Strangers who became shipmates. And a whole week of life on the water working a Tall Ship!

Thanks so very much- I'm already trying to plan for next year!

Tentative Voyage and Camp Dates for 2009

I just posted the tentative 2009 voyage dates for Fair Jeanne and the tentative 2009 camp dates for Black Jack. Check out the Dates and Fees page. Please keep in mind that these dates are subject to change. A lot can happen over the winter. If you are interested though, please call the office at 613-596-6258 or sent an email to let them know. This helps us get an idea of what dates and voyages are more attractive to people and we can take that into consideration in our planning.

Black jack haul out and the banquet on at the same time!

Well this is my first attempt to post some up coming news for volunteers.  As many of you know our banquet is October 25th and at BYC, it just so happens that Black Jack is being scheduled to be hauled out on the same day!  

We would love to have as many volunteers as possible out either to help set up for the banquet or to help get Black Jack hauled out.  Please give the office a call if you can come.  

Breakthrough

Ok, Mary has got some time on her hands at the moment .... I got hold of her directly in the office. Seems she was cleaning up her desk, so she must have a bit of breathing space. Good time to see if we can't get her and Jason blogging. Here goes!!!
