What Off Season?
Submitted by Sail Southern California - Sailing Blog
Ahh Yes! Another “Winter” has settled in, here on the Southern California coast. Sure it’s not as warm out as the Summer. But it’s not cold either. And this year, so far, there have only been a few days one could classify as chilly. I know what I’m talking about! I survived 50 years of real winters…
The added bonus of Winter sailing is our proximity to the whale freeway not far offshore. The gray whales first head South to Mexico. But before they can be talked into a timeshare, they are on their way North with young in tow. The abundance of sea life and birds in the Winter is really a sight to behold. Not to mention the sunrise and sunsets!
What’s more, all of our sailboats have a serious sailing dodger. During the Winter, even the most timid find comfort behind the wind screen. With dolphins leaping and pelicans diving, those folks you bring along who would rather be anywhere else have soon forgotten all of that. Everyone collectively takes in this majesty of nature called the sea. It leaves even the most jaded awestruck. As well it should. Did we mention it’s also a great stress reliever? And if you are the competitive type you will not find a more thrilling experience, be it in a home-built dinghy or high performance million-dollar race boat.
But I digress… What we are trying to say here, is, come on down! The water is fine. If you need lessons, we’ll get you trained up now. You’ll be getting a jump on next Summer. (when the discounts have expired) Make plans now to come down to the docks and take a look at the fleet. We can talk boats and you can get your questions answered to see if SailTime is right for you. If you come on Sundays there is a nice farmers market that might soften the Admiral up enough to put it on the schedule!
