Don't even hesitate - just book! This was an amazing experience from start to finish. Graham was a superb host. He deftly taught two complete novices the basics of sailing in between taking care of yummy meals, sharing stories from his many travels and giving us a lot of space to do our own thing, whether that was soaking up the sun on deck, taking the kayaks out to explore around Gabriola and Thetis or just relaxing below deck with a book once the sun went down. I might even make a half decent deck hand after this trip. We'll be back, without a doubt!
