Sailing Vacations for Families

| The current holiday trend among families is to go together on a family sailing vacation. The excitement of being secluded with the entire family on a single yacht in the middle of the ocean is incomparable with anything else. And being surrounded by picturesque locales is another added asset. More and more families today are going a-sailing together to celebrate occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and family get-togethers.
Hotspots for family sailing vacations include the Hawaiian Islands, the Caribbean Islands, the coast of Florida, Brazil and Argentina and European countries such as Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Families usually prefer lonely cays and beaches for their sailing vacations and avoid crowded waters.
Many tourist agencies provide packages for family sailing vacations. The first step is in finding a properly sized yacht or catamaran to accommodate the entire family. A big enough yacht will also have rooms or cabins for the people on board. Food and drink is provided on board. There may also be provisions for live music and orchestras if the families so prefer. Some sailing vacations also hire emcees who coax the people to dance aboard in the style of cruises.
Families prefer to perform group activities when they are sailing together. Lonely islands are preferred for taking a break from sailing. They may indulge in beach-combing or even snorkeling and scuba diving if they are more adventurous. Family meals become a highly celebrated affair with local cuisine and folk dances thrown in.
Agencies that target family clientele try to provide activities for all the members. Children are provided inflatable water toys with which they can amuse themselves. Adults can enjoy different adventure sports while those not inclined to sports may simply enjoy the whole experience. Care is taken by the crew to keep everyone occupied.
Usually a family sailing vacation will have a crew on board, apart from the family itself. There might also be chefs and waiters along with artistes for entertainment. It all depends on how much the family is willing to have a vacation together. A family vacation may last from 3 to 7 days and the cost would depend on the number of people, number of days and the location.
Family sailing vacations are fast becoming hot trends. All companies are cashing in on this craze, which doesn’t seem to be fading away in a hurry. |

Smooth sailing for Vikings

| The Moriah Vikings finished their regular season at home with a 34-0 victory over AuSable Valley, becoming the third undefeated football team in school history.
"The kids have worked hard, and it's a good feeling for them," Moriah head coach Don Tesar said. "It's nice to make a bit of history here in Moriah, joining a group of just two other teams who finished undefeated."
It was Moriah's first unbeaten season since 1969 when the Vikings finished 6-0-2. The '68 team was 7-0-1. The current Vikings are the first in the school's 46-year history to go through the season unbeaten and untied.
Moriah (8-0) totaled 258 yards and four touchdowns on the ground Friday night, and running back Jim Carlson passed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his 113 yards and two touchdowns against the Patriots (1-7).
"We've got good linemen that can make some good holes, and Jim and Ron (Schofield) can get through them," Tesar said.
The teams exchanged three-and-outs on each of their first offensive drives before Moriah quarterback Tyler Blaise rolled right on a play action and hit Brennan Thierry in the end zone on a fourth-and-three pass.
The Patriots fumbled the following kick return, which set up a 37-yard Carlson run to the one-yard line. Carlson finished the drive on the next play.
Nick Gilbo then took a handoff 33 yards for a score in the second quarter, and Schofield picked up a touchdown of his own on a 42-yard run. |
