"What a great introduction to sailing! My wife and I took the
five-day Basic Learn-to-Cruise course with Greig in August of 2008. It
was our first experience with navigating a large sailboat and was
great fun as well as educational. Greig was an excellent captain and
instructor. His easy-going personable style, combined with his many
years of off-shore sailing were a great combination. We enjoyed
top-notch hands-on training and many great sailing stories, and also
had time to relax on board and on shore when moored. The boat was
comfortable, the food was excellent (thanks Maria!), and the scenery
was gorgeous. We both passed the course, and also got our Boat
Operators Card at the same time. We have since successfully completed
the Coastal Navigation course and are looking for our own boat,
although we'd be happy to sail with Greig again!"

"Our cruise to the Gulf Islands was five days of sheer enjoyment
under the easy-style instruction of our skipper, Greig. The raw beauty
of the scenery bathed in late summer sunshine on a calm sea; flying
spinnaker inside the Trincomali Channel; dropping anchor at Clam
Bay where we sat on deck in the stillness at sunset, looking out at
the few other boats and watching the Canada geese gather in the
distance; racing another sailboat at the southern tip of Salt Spring
Island; looking up at the starry skies from on deck on our last night
at Degnen Bay. It was all a wonderful adventure.
"Sailing Still is like a well-trained horse - easy to ride, she
rides steady, but give her a little head to wind and she'll go! Her
running rigging is well laid out, with sheets easily identified in the
cockpit, self-furling jib for different wind conditions, walk-thru
transom for easy access to and from the tender, spacious deck and
cockpit, and good-size helm area behind the wheel. The most invaluable
instrument on board is the wind and speed indicator helping the person
at the helm to stay on the correct point of sail and orientate the
boat. Great confidence-builder and especially useful for single-handed
man-overboard exercises - beam, tack, broad!
