Sundown on Summer Adventures
I've been extremely fortunate this summer. I was able to cruise around the Gulf Islands, as well as up the west coast of Vancouver Island for two full months. It was a wonderful adventure and to be honest I'm finding the adjustment of back to work and adulting just a wee bit trying at times. There is some comfort in a steady paycheck that will allow me to save up the ol dinero for the next adventure!
I took this photo of my companion Rodney on our last night of anchoring. We were at a small island in the southern gulf islands called Tumbo Island. The air was crisp and cool - feeling very much like fall with just a few sun rays peeking through in the distance.
The upside of our sailing sojourn coming to an end is that I will be able to share our adventures with Steemit! Stay tuned for more stories in the upcoming weeks.

hey @hayles! long time no see, welcome back!
Ah yes, the cold is going to start creeping up to where you are soon, and no sailing till march-april right? what will you be doing in the meantime? what kind of work do you do?
Hey! I will still sail during the winter months - but I will be confined to weekends due to shorter daylight hours. During the week I work in government administration. Winter is a time for surfing, sailing, reading and imbibing in rum & scotch!
that sounds like very good plan! though i don't know about surfing in the winter, i never tried!
I really miss sailing myself, its be a while, the crew is busy with their own lives and i dont have a boat of my own unfortunately... so i'm afraid i'll be land-locked for a while, till the next regatta season, or till i find a new crew.... (or a boat :D)
Wow epic. Are there many sailors on steemit ?
Wow I never knew there was a sailing community on steem. I will have to follow .
