A sailing vacation is a great way to have the vacation of
lifetime. The possibilities are endless since you can sail
wherever there is open water. One of the more popular
sailing vacations that you can find on the Pacific Ocean
can be found off the coast of Washington and British
Columbia. If you are new to sailing you can learn to sail
while enjoying the wonderful views of the San Juan and Gulf
Islands. For approximately $950 during the months of May
to October you can learn how to handle a sailboat with the
safety of an instructor before planning your next sailing
vacation.
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.
Be sure and find the sailing excursion that is just right
for you. Wonderful accommodations await you when you board a
sailing craft in Washington or British Columbia. They
usually sleep four people in two double cabins. If you
choose to dine onboard rather than going to an onshore
restaurant, your chef will prepare scrumptious meals for
your enjoyment. This is the perfect ocean trip for the
novice sailor preparing for bigger adventures in far off
ports of call.
If you would like something a little more tropical and
foreign, think about the British Virgin Islands. It's the
perfect locale for honeymooners and couples looking for a
romantic, adventurous getaway. The weather is sunny, warm
and the Caribbean waters are the perfect place to swim off
the side of your sailboat. Have a delicious lunch, and then
nod off in the sun on deck. The British Virgin Islands will
make for a vacation never to be forgotten.
