Pilot and sailer. Learned to sail in 2018, with Swans Sailing and hold Canadian basic cruising qualifications and American ASA 101 & ASA 103. I have completed more than 250 day trips on Lake Ontario. I have 4 day trips along the west coast of Barbados, where I completed ASA 101 & ASA 103 training. I hold a restricted Radiotelephone Operator Certificate - Marine and Aeronautical Certificate. I hold a Canadian pleasure craft power boat certificate.

Great conditions for sailing today, 10 gust 12 knots with 0.5 metre waves. Dietmar practised docking before Stacey arrived. He managed to conduct the equivalent of almost an entire season of docking in one day. We must have done at least eight or nine docking maneuvers. Stacey had the helm for a good portion of the sail and was able to get lots of tacking in and various points of sail including broad reach and one accidental heave to. 😝 She did a great job of bringing us into the dock. Thanks to Stacey for treating Dietmar and I to a beer after the sail. Cheers guys!!
