The British Virgin Islands: Sailor's Paradiseby Barry MonteiroWith deep channels and harbors between inviting green islands and sandy cays, the British Virgin Islands are among the finest sailing areas in the world. This makes it an ideal vacation spot for anyone who loves the ocean, and especially anyone who loves boats and boating.The geography of the BVI's is remarkable. The weather throughout the islands is very stable, varying only a little with the seasons. The wind is perfect for sailing and other water sports, a Caribbean trade wind of ten to twenty-five knots or just a little more from December through February. Partly because of this stable weather, the temperature of the water is almost always swimmable, hovering within five degrees of 80 all year. Because the islands are so tig

Hawaii dinner cruises are offered on a wide variety of sailing vessels, from state-of-the-art, multi-deck cruisers and large, engine-powered catamarans, to more intimate sailboats and sail-powered catamarans.

Each vessel offers its own unique perspective to cater to every type of sea-going sightseer.

Sailing: An Ideal Sport For FamiliesBy: Gray Rollins For many years, the stereotype persisted that sailing was primarily the province of young, hearty men with large, tattooed biceps. However, in recent years, the demographic of who enjoys sailing has become much more diverse. Sailing is becoming an increasingly popular recreational activity for families, and with good reason. On a sailboat that requires someone steering at the helm, someone navigating from a map, and even someone swabbing the deck, there is a lot to be done, so there can be a role for everyone from grandpa down to the smallest tot. Sailing as a family encourages the kind of lighthearted cooperation and communication that can help any clan of kin grow closer while having a lot of fun.Spending an afternoon on the water is a

It was December 2002, and I had fallen in love with tall ship sailing just 2 years before.
It was a lifestyle I never dreamed possible for myself. As I wandered the Halifax waterfront during Tall Ships 2000, I came across a ship that particularly caught my eye. Her name, Eye of the Wind. As I watched people climbing aloft, doing various tasks and maintenance, I wondered, what kind of person do you have to be to find yourself working a job like that? Surely you must have spent your childhood messing around in small boats, learning important techniques and seamanship and teamwork. And you must be strong.
