Vancouver Windsurfing!

Windsurfing in Vancouver, British Columbia! When the wind picks up, Vancouver is a great place to hit the water for a sail or windsurf... and that is exactly what I did on a windy fall day at the end of September! I must admit there is nothing like strapping the board to your car roof rack, driving to Jericho Beach, and ripping across the Ocean waters of Burrard Inlet looking at the amazing views of Vancouver and the North Shore Mountains. Talk about having it all... and in a couple of months we will be skiing too! Beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia has it all!

Tip: If you don't have your own gear... no worries!
Windsure Adventure Watersports by the Jericho Sailing Centre rents windsurfers or even a paddle boards!

As part of the celebration of the one-year countdown festivities for Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, I joined Active Communities Vancouver Step Out Walk that explores the changing skyline around Southeast False Creek and the Olympic and Paralympic Village. During the beautiful 3km walk around False Creek, I spoke with Olympic Silver Medalist Karen Magnussen and Olympian Darcy Marquardt and Sabrina Kolker! This is a fantastic family walk and you can feel the Winter Games excitement in the air... so come on out and step it up!

I went for a walking journey through Downtown Vancouver and then took off on a Seaplane adventure into the Coast Mountain Range! The views were spectacular and we ended up landing on a "secret" alpine lake! Talk about a beautiful slice of BC!

I was taking a stroll around Stanley Park and during my wanders I ran into some raccoons who gave me some great advice to go for a ride on the Horse Carriage! We are so lucky to have such a huge park right by downtown Vancouver. Happy 120th Anniversary Stanley Park!

Cruising all around Vancouver for the day I was starting to build up an appetite. So I asked people on the street where they recommend I go for some scenery and a bite. Next thing I know I'm off to find the best fish & chips on Granville Island!
