Tales from an Australian living in the Great White North.

... yet another winter sport!
Skiing by Braille!
Our weekend at Big White was exactly that - very white. They say the resort gets it's name from the masses of snow it receives... but we now know the truth!
Come along for the adventure with Kate and Sean sailing their Garcia Exploration 45 'Chinook'.
Chinook is named after the down-slope winds we experience in Southern Alberta. They are a warm and welcome wind.
Sean's grandfather was born in Chinook, Alberta and the HobieCat Kate raced as a teenager was also named Chinook. So the name ties into where we live, and both Sean and Kate's background.
It also works on the radio and is easy to spell in many languages.
