Helping people, especially Tony, is a passion for Wanjira. Her career has been multifaceted on three continents. She speaks 4 languages and is currently studying another. In her previous professional capacity as an Executive Assistant, in a high pressure industry, she performed several business management functions including translations. Wanjira is currently dividing her time between providing alternate health therapies, please visit Wanjira's Holistic Options, and facilitating workshops related to transitioning to natural healthy life styles. Although Tony has been known to describe Sailing as the ultimate in stress relief he is always delighted to receive a hot stone massage from Wanjira whenever possible. Her capacity for work is only exceeded by her love of helping others. She has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to help raise funds for AIDS relief for African children and is planning other charitable fund raising events.

	Bryce is an energetic dinghy sailor. He has been sailing for many years and even skippers the family keelboat when his parents let him. He has competed in local and national championships. Patience, attention to detail, and a charming smile are only some of his characteristics. He is aspiring to become a keelboat instructor.

Dave learned to sail in Gimili, Manitoba on Tumbleweeds in the early eighties. Predominantly a dingy racer, he has applied those skills to keelboats ("Much more comfortable!" he says) and is certified to instruct up to Bronze 5 in dingies and Basic Cruising on keelboats. Dave has mainly sailed on inland waters in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec with a few blue water charters in the Caribbean thrown in.
