Ish for SALTS

Ishwarya Chaitanya our Past President of the Langara Rotaract club was our candidate for the SALTS program. This is a tall ship experience leaving from Victoria sailing up to Port Hardy in a 10-day trip on the high seas. She admitted to the organiser's at the start she had a couple of fears. Big water and heights! She had to agree to climb the mast and complete the 10 days before they would sign her on. She signed on and she did complete the 10 days. Way to go Ish. That's the spirit! She treated us to a wonderful show of slides. Most of them taken by herself. She helped build a temporary Sauna on Savary Island on a deserted stretch of beach then jumped into the glacier waters of the local steam. She was on the Pacific Swift. She saw a hump back Whale and saw it breach. There were 39 on board with 9 crew. She said she sailed for 9 of the 10 days and left us with a breathless picture of the sights of her trip.
