August 29, 2011 - Vancouver, BC
Today would be a first sail out into English Bay for the whole family. After Basic Crusing out of Harbourfront, it would also be a 1st charter and out on tidal waters. I ended up getting a J24 from the Vancouver Sailing Club and we would meet with Carl Richardson at the Granville Island public dock.

Got things checked out on the boat and then did a few dockings in the area to show Carl that we were capable.

For the day we went westward to the end of English Bay just off the north shore among the anchored cargo ships. Then we crossed the bay toward West Vancouver before heading west again around Passage Island. Once around Passage Island, it was a leisurely sail back among the cargo ships before entering under the Burrard Street bridge.

A quick phone call to Carl and we would meet up again to hand the boat back to him.
