SV “Xanadu” KC9 - S&S Pilot 35 | Nossiter Family Boat her debut in the Georgian Bay Waterfront Festival Town of Midland ~ Tourism Downtown Midland BIA

She’s more than a classic sailboat—she’s family. ⛵✨
We are thrilled to introduce Xanadu (KC 9) at the Georgian Bay Festival! I grew up on this boat—my uncle, William Lee Partridge, cherished her from 1981 to 2019 before Mark Nossiter and I took the helm to keep her legacy alive.

3 Facts About Xanadu:
* Legendary Pedigree: A world-renowned Sparkman & Stephens Pilot 35 design with a custom rig built by Canadian legend Bill Abbott Sr.
* Pure Craftsmanship: Traditional BC cedar hull over steam-bent oak frames, paired with mahogany cabin trim and Sitka spruce box spars.
* Naval Stewardship: Meticulously restored using Mark’s 13 years of Royal Canadian Navy discipline and CYA instructor expertise.

Ensō, I went here to…

Go hiking with my son.
Sleep under the stars.
Build a campfire.
Get off our phones.
Get a little dirty.
Be outside.
Just… be together.

And honestly, I think I needed it as much as he did.

We caught crayfish. 🦞
Saw wildlife.
Climbed rocks.
Explored caves.
Swam.
Got tired.
Got a little uncomfortable.
And laughed a lot.

There’s something about being in nature with a kid that makes you slow down.

You notice things you might normally miss.

A weird rock.
A little creature hiding under the water.
The sound of the waves.
How dark the sky actually gets when there aren’t a million lights around.

And then there’s the nostalgia.

I used to jump off the cliffs at the Grotto in my 20s.

That makes me shake my head a little now. 😂

And here I am, definitely still putting my son out of his comfort zone… just with a little more perspective than I had back then.

It isn’t perfectly peaceful.
It isn’t perfectly planned.

It’s just real life, outside.

And maybe that’s part of what Ensō means to me.

And so… we go.
And so… we wander.
And so… we get uncomfortable.
And so… we make memories.
And so… we keep becoming.

And so.

It sounds a little like Ensō.

And I kind of love that.

Nostalgia and new adventures for my son.

Hopefully, a few memories he’ll carry with him long after he forgets where we were. 🤍

Some rooms change you.

Not because of the stage or the agenda, but because of the people in them.

I’m incredibly grateful to spend time with women who are building bold ideas, asking bigger questions, and creating things that genuinely expand what’s possible. Conversations like these remind me how much there is to learn—and how much is possible when vision meets courage.

Thank you, Mellie Chow , for bringing us together a the Helm event. I left deeply inspired, energized, and even more committed to building what’s next.

There’s something powerful about standing in a room where everyone is building a future that doesn’t exist yet.

I can’t wait to see where we all go from here. ✨

Sometimes I need to read my own book again.

Today was one of those days.

I felt stuck, so I opened to Chapter 6 and was reminded that strength doesn’t begin with reaching higher—it begins with what we absorb.

What we tolerate becomes familiar. What becomes familiar starts to feel like truth.

Maybe if you’re feeling stuck too, you don’t need to push harder. Maybe you just need to pause and notice what you’re taking in.

One small, intentional choice can change the direction of your growth.

Sometimes I need the reminder just as much as anyone else. 🌿

I came home from reIGNITE Conference 2025 with seven books. This one stuck with me today.

The Divided Brain by Paul Larche There’s a chapter on oxytocin, on why some brands feel safe and others just feel loud, and I read it twice.

He writes that stories and testimonials work because when we feel connected, our guard drops. Simple as that.

I sat with that for a minute. That’s kind of the whole reason I wrote my book. You can’t talk someone into trusting you. You can only be someone worth trusting and let them find their own way there.

Got to teach the workshop again this year too. Watched it happen in real time, people softening up mid-session, same thing Paul’s writing about, just happening in a room instead of on a page.

Already looking forward to next year.

It’s late July. The growth doesn’t feel loud right now.

No blooming. No harvest yet. Just heat, and long days, and the quiet work happening somewhere you can’t see.

That’s what summer actually is for a tree. Not spectacle. Depth.

From Ensō, A Tree Still Grows:

“Each rooting value I could feel alive in me, deepening in the rich soil of summer. Even as a tree stands tall, its roots continue to press wider and deeper, branching outward beneath the stillness. That underground movement is invisible. But without it, even the most spectacular canopy cannot endure.”

If nothing looks like it’s happening for you right now, that might be exactly what’s happening.

Root deep. Rise later.

Caught a perfect breeze on Georgian Bay yesterday with my mentor, Chris Adams Chris Adams and my sailing bestie happytoes2⛵️ . ⛵️

We took out our classic yacht (in the family since the ‘80s), and when the wind completely died at sunset, neither of us minded the delay. When you’re on a boat with someone who helped you find your footing early in your career, the conversation just flows.

Chris was the first person to see potential in me before I even knew what I wanted to do. He never handed me a step-by-step manual; he just stood by me while I learned how to steer my own ship.

Incredibly grateful for your guidance then, and your friendship now, Chris. 🌅

It’s a bit small but hit me big in my heart.

I was sent a direct message with this printed reflection of Ensō, A Tree Still Grows. 🙏

One line I keep rereading:
“The world needs people who have let go and have come alive. I am still in the process but it is working.”

That’s the whole reason I wrote it. Not to finish anyone’s process. To start it.

Happy Canada Day!

Wind in my sails and happiest on the water!⛵️💜
