Greetings from Victoria, Vancouver Island.
I’ve been asked to explain what sailing I’ve been doing since moving to this Canadian Pacific Island. Well, I’m the in the ideal location. I have a Waterfront apartment so I can see the weather when I wake up. I’m near two marinas so I can be on a boat in10 minutes as opposed to the 2 to 3 hours drive from London to the South Coast.
Michael Doctors 1941 to 2008
Michael Doctors first started sailing dinghies in his late teens and bought his first yacht, the Leisure 23 ‘Avocet’ in his mid thirties. Since then he and Annie owned 2 further yachts which Michael skippered and sailed to numerous ports and destinations in the UK and France. It was largely his (and Annie’s) enthusiastic embracing of the idea of a sailing club of Jewish affinity that led to the existence of the High Seas Sailing Club. Read the rest…
Heartiest congratulations must go to our very own Phil Sugarman for successfully obtaining his RYA National Cruising Instructor’s ticket recently. More especially at a time when gale force winds were being recorded around the country and Phil was under significant pressure from all sides!
This is a seriously high level qualification and the High Seas is very proud to have Phil as its Rear Commodore. Well done!!
