An extremely exhilerating ex-
perience is sailing, Gwyn Owen
‘of Sidney, charters: his. Cal 20
at $3 per hour and with a Captain
supplied, $5 per hour. The vessel
can hold four people nicely but
no more. Mr. Owen is anaffable
feiow full of nautical know-how,

I believe the time is coming
when a charter will require
vooking at. least two wecks. in
-“advance’ as-it is most popular
with tourists in the. warmer
weather. You also learn about
the main-sail, whichis port and
