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.
The San Juan and Gulf Islands are truly magnificent and
offer you many sheltered coves where you can anchor for the
night. By the way, this area is called the Pacific Northwest
banana belt, as the climate is mild and the scenery makes
you think of the tropics.
While you are learning to sail you can enjoy several
activities on shore such as visits to small villages, a
beer at a local inn, stops at remote islands, and a
luxurious massage at a local spa. If you keep your eyes
open while you are sailing along you may be able to spot an
Orca whale that is passing by since this area of the world
is home to these amazing whales. Other wildlife that you
should keep your eyes open for are otters, bald eagles,
seals, porpoises, and other birds of the ocean.
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.
For a sailing vacation in more foreign waters a great
location is the British Virgin Islands. This area is a
great sailing vacation for newly weds and for couples who
want a romantic, yet adventurous trip, to make lasting
memories. The weather of the British Virgin Islands is
warm and sunny, and the clear Caribbean waters will soothe
your skin as you take a swim off the side of your sailing
vessel. Have lunch on board the sailing ship before
napping in the sun off the side deck. You~ll have the
vacation of a life-time when you board one of the many
sailing boats that can be found in the British Virgin
Islands.
