Get Away From It All On A Sailing Vacation

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 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.
A sailing vacation in Washington and British Columbia will
give you many pleasures, including excellent accommodations.
Your ship will sleep four people in two double cabins. Your
onboard chef will prepare scrumptious meals, or you can go
ashore and dine in one of the area's many fine restaurants.
One of these vacation packages is just right for the novice
sailor who will later be able to sail in far away ports of
call with wilder waters.
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.
