General

It’s taken us a bit of time to update the Captain’s Blog due to the fact that we have had some sad news to announce and have been putting off the dreaded moment, but here it is…

We opened the shop on the 27th May and many thanks to everyone who turned up to show their support.  Sadly Jon, Smeg & Myself missed much of the afternoon following a tragic accident which resulted in the death of our much loved collie dog Pearl.  Pearl became an inspiring little member of the family – to the point of even having voting rights in the house!  🙂  She provided a great motivation for the 7th Wave project and always kept us laughing even at the hardest and lowest parts of the journey.

7th Wave is dedicated to the memory and spirit of Pearl (2003-2006) who brought us so much love in the short time she was part of our lives.  Hoy on Puppy..! x

It’s been almost three weeks since we opened the shop and centre and so far things have been going well.  The weatherman has blessed us with brilliant sunshine on most days and the odd spot of rain at night – hope it keeps going like this til October!

TT Week was busy, Port Erin Fun Day proved to be a success with 8 kids getting out sailing during the afternoon.  Dave has apparently got some good pics of the day (although we are still waiting to see them!) we’ll post them on the site as soon as Dave has finished editing them….
We ran our first powerboat course last weekend, congratulations to Jon & Chrissy, our first RYA Level 2 Powerboaters.  Thanks to Dave & Baggie for a great course, may there be many more to follow……

Our Specialised Sailing Weeks during the summer are also proving to be popular, many bookings have been taken already and places are filling up fast.

Thanks for all the support so far………

Hi there!

Nothing much to say at the moment except we’re in the final throws of getting ready for our Grand Opening, on Saturday the 27th May 2006…

Once things have settled down, we’ll start writing here what’s been going on, and what’s coming up for us here in Port Erin, Isle of Man.

In the meantime, please have a look through the site. Tell us what you think, what you’d like to see more… or less of 🙂 and then – we hope – you’d like to come and try out our courses and activities, or buy something from our shop [ which we should have on-line soon, selling ethical clothing and water-sportswear and such ].

Hope to see you soon,

7thwave
