What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

Skipper at the Helm

Check out the angle of the boat and the horizon. This really is sailing in open water on a very big ship.

Nick Sailing in Victoria 2011

Here are the two boats that we were on for four days. We took the Pacific Swift out. It is a replica from the 1750s.


Nick and classmate getting sprayed in the front of the boat, conditions could not have been better today.

I just spent 4 days sailing with Nick and his class all through Victoria and the Gulf Islands. Here Nick is in the "whiskers" of the Pacific Swift tall ship. We were doing about 8.6 knots and we were at about 16 degrees to the water at the fastest.

Happy Birthday, Yvonne..


True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
