Flags in the Water

We had to make a quick stop down to Burrard Yacht Club to see if I could book some dates to put on a VHF Radio course this spring sometime. We’ve been members since 2007, but until we got our boat into a club slip, we didn’t really feel a part of it. It’s hard when you moor elsewhere. As time goes on we are feeling a bit more at home there, and we are getting to know more people. It’s challenging for me, I’m not a super social individual with strangers.

We are hoping to move up to a sailboat this year, but with now deciding to buy a new home, that may have to go on the back burner, but who knows, the right boat at the right price may appear unexpectedly. And we are hoping to find a new place as close, or closer, to the boat as we are now.

In the meantime, since we never have any plans to leave the North Shore, we are going to try and put some greater effort into the club as we are looking to it as a future social community. The funny thing is, many of our friends from our volunteer group either have joined or are thinking about it. I LOVE that! The thing that kept us volunteering year after year was the social aspect. But with that component having really fractured in the past few years, it means that we can possibly relieve ourselves of some of the time pressures we’ve felt with volunteering, but not lose touch with many of the people that kept us there.

On our visit to book the dates to use the club, the club flags were reflected in the waters in the tidal grid. Any day near boats is a wonderful day, a sunny day near boats is particularly fabulous.
