Sail Vancouver Island and the North Coast with Oak Sailing School in 2009
                Pictures from our last Van Isle circumnavigation -
The cruise program for 2009 is being prepared now, and will be posted soon.
Cruises will  include passages "North of Desolation" ie through Seymour Narrows, Johnstone Strait, visiting the Broughtons, Port Hardy and continuing around Van Isle, with some coastal and offshore sections, taking in hot springs and some small villages etc. with experience of night passages in between.
Also planned are cruises north across Charlotte Sound to the "inside passage", visiting more remote anchorages, through spectacular rain forest scenery, and a mix of developed marinas like Shearwater, and older historical sites like Namu.
All cruises offer ISPA certifications, Coastal Navigator, Coastal Skipper, and where appropriate, Advanced Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore.
The cruises are usually divided into 7 day sections to accommodate sailors with limited time available, the staging point for crew changes will normally be Port Hardy.
