A sailing vacation is a great way to have the vacation of lifetime. The possibilities are endless since you can sail wherever there is open water. One of the more popular sailing vacations that you can find on the Pacific Ocean can be found off the coast of Washington and British Columbia. If you are new to sailing you can learn to sail while enjoying the wonderful views of the San Juan and Gulf Islands. For approximately $950 during the months of May to October you can learn how to handle a sailboat with the safety of an instructor before planning your next sailing vacation.
The San Juan and Gulf Islands are amazingly beautiful and the many sheltered coves will greet you with their stunning geography. This area of the Pacific is often referred to as the Pacific Northwests banana beltand for a good reason. The climate is mild and the scenery resplendent of a more tropical area of the world.
While you are learning to sail you can enjoy several activities on shore such as visits to small villages, a beer at a local inn, stops at remote islands, and a luxurious massage at a local spa. If you keep your eyes open while you are sailing along you may be able to spot an Orca whale that is passing by since this area of the world is home to these amazing whales. Other wildlife that you should keep your eyes open for are otters, bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and other birds of the ocean.
A sailing vacation in Washington and British Columbia will give you many pleasures, including excellent accommodations. Your ship will sleep four people in two double cabins. Your onboard chef will prepare scrumptious meals, or you can go ashore and dine in one of the area's many fine restaurants.
