| CARIBBEAN ADVENTURE
(Basic, Intermediate, Advanced or Offshore) : Join us for a
week or two for a superb adventure in the Caribbean Islands. Choose your
starting point from the British Virgin Islands, St Martin, Antigua, St.
Lucia,
Martinique, Tobago keys or Grenada. THE 2012 SEASON WE WILL BE
STARTING IN PENETANGUISHENE EARLY IN OCTOBER 2011 on COMPASS ROSE X.
PASSAGE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES, ERIE CANAL AND HUDSON RIVER PUTS US
IN NEW YORK BY THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. NEXT STOP BERMUDA WHERE WE WILL
STAY FOR A TWO WEEK CRUISE BEFORE OUR DEPARTURE FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
FULL DAY ADVENTURE in GEORGIAN BAY( Introduction to
Sailing):
Set sail in the morning at the time you choose and we will enjoy the scenery and the steady wind in the "gap", as we head for a lunch stop
anchorage. If you feel more adventurous, we can lunch on board and cruise into the open waters of Georgian Bay off Hope Island and the Watchers Islands. Perhaps, we will set the spinnaker and run home in time for dinner or as the sun sets. Whatever course or time you choose we are sure it will be an adventure to remember. Refreshments and lunch are included.
WEEKEND ADVENTURE (Introduction to Sailing): Arriving at the dock on Friday afternoon or early evening, your adventure begins immediately as we cast off from dock and cruise to a nearby anchorage where you can dine and relax as the sun sets and plan your course for the next day. You will learn the strategy of planning your route to consider all factors of weather and navigation. Sailing the channel to Sans Souci or challenging the open waters near the Western Islands, will bring you to another secluded anchorage. Take the dinghy to shore and hike up a cliff by the path or use your rock climbing skills and enjoy the breath taking view. Swim, snorkel, or just laze about, the choice is yours. We will feed you well with six meals and refreshments included. The trip back home will be through open water to excite and challenge you.
One
Week and Longer Adventures (Basic or
Intermediate): Cruise and learn for a whole week or more on a customized adventure. We promise good food, good company and plenty of fun and excitement as you live aboard and sail by day or overnight (subject to weather and destination). Sailing around the 30,000 Islands and possibly as far as Manitoulin
Island or the North Channel can be as easy or as rugged as you choose. All
food is provided and we will cook for you or you may try your hand in the
galley.
One
Way Extended Voyage (Intermediate or
Advanced): In May of
each season we will be offering an exciting way to experience a cruise and learn on a one way adventure. Join us for a seven day
Advanced Course that will journey from Toronto through the great lakes to Penetanguishene. The return trip in September will stop at different destinations returning back to Toronto.
Each leg of the voyage will be planned for plenty
of exhilarating sailing in the open waters of the Great Lakes. (Not
always available North Channel Cruise substituted.)
