My Little Brother

By Doug
Nine years ago, my brother suffered a stroke. He survived because of the superb Canadian healthcare system but remains disabled. To everyone’s delight, he’s taken up sailing.

Pam and I are in Italy as I train for the upcoming Laser Master Worlds in Croatia, but a much more important event just finished in Kelowna British Columbia. It was the Mobility Cup for Canadian disabled sailors, where Brian finished third in his first national event.

Brian winning a race!


I am so proud! When I retire, this is where I'll spend my time.

    Wow, Doug - great news. Tell Brian to keep up the great work. And best of luck to you in Croatia. I cannot make it -have started teaching sailing after work and weekends. Really loving it, although I miss being with all you guys.
