Cathy Norrie lived 60 years before she first sailed offshore…before that sailing for her was all about small boats on a big lake in northern Alberta. When she married Bill  in 2009 everything changed. No more small boats. No more lake sailing. It was now all about bluewater cruising on big oceans. 2009 was also the year that they bought their first offshore boat, Terrwyn, a Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37.

Eager to get back to New Zealand where she had spent 6 years of her young adulthood, Cathy agreed to try her hand at sailing offshore. What better way to return to the South Pacific than on a romantic cruise in a small boat with her new husband? She soon found out what that really meant…

 Join Cathy as she shares the reality of what sailing a small boat as part of a short-handed crew on the wide, wide sea is all about.

BCA members and non-members are all welcome to attend the first VI Mid-Island club night of the season; please note it will not be available via Zoom.
