I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out what my elective post should be for this week and I cant decide if I should talk about my experience with dental surgery in the third world, or how awesome the UBC sailing club is… I think I’ll go for the ladder.

Ok, UBC sailing club – I reckoned it to everybody. It’s amazing! $200 and you get unlimited access to sailboats all year round! I’m sure that if somebody is actually reading this they (you) are likely thinking that sailing is for pompous pricks, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Which means that the sport could use some decent human being like yourself! So get down to Jericho Yacht club and join!

If you have never sailed before, it’s no problem. Lessons turn out to be about $3 per hour! Shop around, you can’t beat this price! And you don’t have to compete or anything. Basically you pay the one time annual fee and you can go sailing anytime you want with no commitment. Last summer I was out there a few times a week. I had no idea I had so many friends until I started wearing deck shoes and went around blabbing about my new hobby.

So if you are like me and need some friends, just tell people you have a sailboat. Problem solved.
