This weekend I was provided a wonderful experience going out sailing with some past clients of Team Reba. Nine years ago, when I helped Andy Huntley and his wife Kris Hardy purchase a home in the Maple Leaf neighborhood, they told me about their long time dream of owning a sailboat charter business. Well, as of 2014, they’ve made that dream a reality, opening up Upbeat Sailing, with their boat slip out in Shilshole Marina near Ballard.
I took my husband and another couple, our friends Sue McCabe and Gerald Grinter (also a past client), on the boat this past Sunday and posted below are some wonderful photos we took while out on the boat. Andy also teaches sailing for a local company and he’s great at making this an easy experiential event for those who want to learn more about sailing while on the boat. We were also treated to their homemade desserts (this time cookies, but it changes) which added a very nice personal touch. One of the best parts of the day, besides some of the interesting boat and aircraft we saw go by, was the visit several times by a couple of Harbor Porpoises who trailed the boat and came right up to us to swim back and forth behind us. We got some fun pictures and videos of those two!
I hope you’ll check out Upbeat Sailing, and book your own excursion. They run all year round and you can find them at their website: www.UpbeatSailing.com plus via the Upbeat Sailing Facebook page and on Twitter.
