Get Away From It All On A Sailing Vacation
Author: Mac Herrison
Sailing vacations are terrific getaways for both the novice and the experienced sailor. Think about all the open water in the world, and you'll realize how many places there are to sail. One beautiful and popular destination, is the Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Washington state and British Columbia. You can learn to sail among the breathtaking San Juan and Gulf Islands. From May to October you can learn sailing in these waters for about $950. A certified instructor will teach you the fine points of sailing.
The San Juan and Gulf Islands are amazingly beautiful and the many sheltered coves will greet you with their stunning geography. This area of the Pacific is often referred to as the Pacific Northwest's banana belt…and for a good reason. The climate is mild and the scenery resplendent of a more tropical area of the world.
During your sailing instructional period you will have a number of activities to vary your routine. There are small villages dotting the shores. Stop by a local inn for a beer, check out some really remote islands, or even enjoy a massage at an island spa. You may also luck out and see Orca whales frolicking in your vicinity. These beautiful creatures call this area home. Be on the lookout too for otters, bald eagles, seals and porpoises, and the many species of sea birds.
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.
If you want foreign waters and more sun, consider taking a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean Ocean. It's a perfect place for a romantic vacation, whether you're a newlywed or a couple seeking a memorable getaway. The air is warm from the continually sunny days and the waters are clear and soothing. You can take a swim followed by a lovely on-deck nap. Your chef will serve you a delectable lunch as well. For the time of your life, take one of these magical sailing vacations in the British Virgin Islands.
