Hello Everybody!

Kijubi had another exciting Friday this week. In order to prepare for our Deal of the Week and to make sure you all are getting the best experience possible during our activities, we decided to test it out ourselves!

Four of the Kijubi team drove up to Redondo Beach today and hooked up with Wes from South Bay sailing, hopped on a J80 sailboat, and set off on a one-hour educational sailing cruise. We learned about all the basic parts of a sail boat, how to steer and adjust the sails, and, most importantly, to watch our heads when the boom swings. There were a few close calls but we all survived without taking an unexpected dip.

I’ve learned that sailing is an amazing activity. Like all fun hobbies and activities, it’s pretty easy to initially pick up and challenging to master. The greatest thing about this kind of cruise is that it can either be an educational adventure or a relaxing cruise. Wes was very kind to answer all sailing questions, and did a great job of instructing and allowed us to learn hands-on.

This is the perfect activity if you’re looking to get away from civilization for a little bit and experience the beautiful open pacific ocean first hand.

Kijubi girls go sailing!

Kijubi Sailing?

In my more youthful days I was proud to call myself a collegiate rower. Rowing is one of the most beautiful and strenuous sports out there. A full body workout that requires year-round dedication to peak physical condition, while at the same time it provides  picturesque sunrises reflecting off pristine rivers, lakes, harbors and estuaries. So when this story came across my desk, I had to share with you.

This past Sunday, Katie Spots became the youngest person to cross an ocean solo, and the first American to cross one without any help from the mainland. She completed this feat in 70 days 22 hours and 15 minutes, coming ashore in Georgetown, Guyana, in south America. She left Dakar, Senegal, in a 19ft yellow, custom made, rowboat.  A driving factor in her 2,817-mile journey was an opportunity to raise more than $70,000 for the Blue Water run Foundation which supports drinking water throughout the world.

Here’s a map of her completed journey.
