Dock Space for Dinghy

My daughter Athenia and I are looking for a private dock to keep our 8' dinghy during the summer. We are quiet (I am anyway) and respectful. We would only use the space to access our dingy when rowing out to our sailboat and heading back in. 

Very willing to pay a small monthly fee for the privilege and payment would be in advance. Location would need to be in Telegraph Harbour. Our mooring pin is located close to the entrance but if dock is located a fair distance away...my next e-spokes post will be looking for a small motor.

Reminder: 2022 Thetis Athletic & Construction Skills Academy

Dear Parents,
In addition to our regular soccer practices, I am going to run The 2022 Thetis Athletic & Construction Skills Academy during July and August.  My intention is to provide lectures in the following areas:

A.  Sports:
Cross-country running, swimming, ping pong, tennis, badminton, cycling, field hockey and various types of kinesthetic exercises, including gymnastic exercises, rope/tree climbing, headstands, hand walking, etc.   The idea is to get the athletes/students together two times a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays  (Mondays will stay for soccer practice) with Wednesdays as their Individual Training Day.  We will start at 10 am and finish at 12:00 or 1:00, depending on the interest and number of students.  We will start with sports at 10 am and in an hour or so we will move to work activities. 

I intend to be serious about it.  It will not be a walk in the park.  There are already serious participants enrolled.  If you as a parent want your kid(s) to take part in dedicated physical activities during the summer, please contact me.  The numbers are not important.  I will work with one or 15 children and, as I have mentioned, the interest is there. 

B:  Manual Skills:
I would like to engage women and men on Thetis who are good with tools and would like to share their skills with kids.  This part of the Academy is still being discussed, mainly for safety reasons, but I have a lot of hope I will find willing and good teachers in woodworking, auto mechanics and (if possible) other activities, such as blacksmithing.

If you are interested, please get back to me.  Again, this is not a fun activity.  It is about health and physical prowess.  I  expect dedication either for  one week, two weeks, three weeks, one month or 6 weeks - exactly as if they were in a camp.  When your family is away, the athletes will be excused.  However, if they are here, they will be expected to come – if they commit.  Arriving late, not being fully engaged, whining and/or generally bringing others down with complaints, will have necessary consequences.  

If you think your child would benefit from the suggested activities, please contact me at jcerny07@gmail.com.  As an athlete and as a coach I have been in possibly one hundred or even more of these camps. They can mean a lot. They can change lives. It all depends. 

Thanks a lot, Jan.

GOOD NEWS 

I found out today I have Grade 3 cancer and all my appointments have been cancelled this week so the Doc can come up with a new plan of attack. So, I am home on Thetis Island for the whole week.

Cheers to the lot of you for your continued support.
