I can’t believe how lucky I was to find the ‘Starlight Adventures’ team. Gord sailed my ‘new-to-me’ boat from Gabriola Island to Sooke – teaching two relatively novice sailors en-route with great patience and equanimity (and, believe me, a lot of equanimity was needed!) Our 3-day sail was fabulous! Since arriving in Sooke, I have been reviewing the Basic Cruising curriculum with Mitch and Dallas. Both are excellent sailors and teachers – and are both so obviously passionate about teaching sailing. In the last few weeks, I have seen my knowledge and confidence grow exponentially – and feeling so supported. If you are like me, and have completed Basic Sailing (and even several years of sailing on other people’s boats!) but still lack the confidence to captain your own boat, call on Gord, Mitch and Dallas. They will get you sailing!

Mitchell Helped me move my new to me boat from Sidney BC to Vancouver. I have hired three instructors since and none of them came close to showing me what I learned from Mitchell. His patience and love of sailing showed through. If he is in Vancouver have him call me and we’ll do another lesson.
