Wounded Warriors Sailing Day

[tirediron]

As some of you are aware, I am a big supporter of the Wounded Warriors initiative, and in particular, the Wounded Warriors Run BC which is the Vancouver Island element. Yesterday some of the team members and sponsors were invited aboard HMCS Oriole, the Royal Canadian Navy's sail training ship for a day of sailing and fun in the sun clouds and rain.

Actually the wheels' not snubbed; that red line is one of the mizzen sheets, but it is a totally cool, unintentional, optical illusion.

You learn really quick to hold on tight! Or else. Apparently the crew have a fair bit of experience in recovering people who've gone over the side...
