During our recent visit to Northwest Territories, we had an amazing opportunity to go sailing. Personally I’ve never been sailing, but always dreamed of it. I’ve never been a fan of speed boats, and the older I get, the more annoying it is to have to listen to the noise of the engine. So when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped in with both feet.
Leaving port on the Great Slave Lake
For those that never been to NWT, Great Slave Lake is huge. I mean huge. There are places where you do not see land in any direction. We never ventured that far, because of limited time, and inherent slowness of a sail boat. Ah but the beauty, the quiet rustle of wind in the sails, the gently lapping of water agains the hull. Absolute dream. Here are some pictures taken from the trip…. there are more to come, so stay tuned.

Oh, I like the bottom one with the dark blue sky and clouds sailing above the waters of the lake and the coastguard ship in the background… And the second one is interesting as well. That pontoon looks a bit lonely being dragged there behind a sailboat… Nice.
Nice collection, beautiful scenery, great sky. Difficult to believe that people can live on a house-boat in Yellowknife! Some of the clouds look like tone-mapped!
I love these – gorgeous!!! Once again: beautiful skies and great perspective! Incredible! xo, Christa
You should have said, we can go sailing next time you are over!
