Sailing in Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada
So this one isn’t a total solo mission, but I went to this group event by myself at the end of June, not knowing anyone, and it was such an awesome time.
It was a photography tour called Go Sailing, with Natural Freedom and Taylor Burk, and we went out on the Providence Sailing ship, which is apparently Canada’s oldest passenger ship… and it was so rad.
I’ve been following both of these guys for a while, really wanting to go to either or both of their events/workshops, then as soon as I saw they launched one together and I was all-in.
This event was only a couple days after I got home from my Jasper trip, this whole week just felt like it was full of adventures and doing cool shit, so after a what felt like a long time of not doing a whole lot, I was throwing myself back into it with full force, and it was kind of awesome.
The weather ended up being half-decent most of the time, and by that I mean it wasn’t pissing rain, and it also wasn’t fully sunny, lol, but it sure did make for some sick & moody photos. We all scored a rip out on the zodiac to get a view at the boat from the water, and I didn’t realise how friggen cool this thing looks until we got out there… Tell me that ain’t a pirate ship though??
Honestly, I don’t even remember the last time I went in solo to a group event like this, not knowing anyone, and I was a lil nervous and anxious about it…
But everyone was literally so chill and awesome, it was such a rad group of people and obviously I had a solid time, doing something I’d never done before (being on a sailing ship, and being out on the water in Howe Sound).
