Earlier this year, I wrote a blog about some of the unique experiences I've had in the last 21 years with my adventurous partner, Ian.
Today, I'd like to share a few more of these experiences from our latest sailing adventure - we've been underway since mid-July from Georgian Bay, Ontario, and the final destination is the Bahamas. I refer to these experiences as my "never-have-I-ever" done/seen/felt this before.
Never-have-I-ever... (until now)
- travelled through lock systems (The Welland Canal, Canada, and the Erie Canal, New York State)
 |
| Welland Canal, Ontario, Canada. My sailboat is on the right. |
- walked through Times Square, New York City
- sailed past the Statue of Liberty
- celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
- attended a U.S. football game - Navy Midshipmen vs the Air Force Falcons
- had to evict a rat from my boat (see last month's blog)
- planned on outrunning hurricanes (three and counting)
- paid $135 U.S. for washing/drying/folding 20 lbs of laundry
- had to pump out the waste (poop) tanks on our sailboat (it's a crappy job). (In Canada, marina staff have the honour of performing this task)
- had the ability to connect to the Internet while sailing/anchoring (satellite service!)
- eaten The Crab Chip, "made with Chesapeake Bay Crab seasoning"
- sailed overnight in the Atlantic Ocean, from New York City to Cape May, New Jersey, dodging multiple freighters and massive swells
- 'run' from a severe nor'easter (remnants of tropical storm Jerry) and 'hide' in a wee bay while the storm passes

That's plenty of 'never-have-I-ever,' at least for now. If you like the sound of these adventures, then you'll love the award-winning Twisted Climb series. There are dozens of 'never-have-I-ever' experiences for Jayden, Connor and Max. And Dick. Can't forget him. Check them out!
Stay safe and don't forget to tell the ones you love that you love them
