My vision for sailing is a unique and spiritual experience that will get us in tune with the Salish Sea and the elements that surround us. With a focus on adventure tourism, I look forward to being your guide!
Time on the water aboard the Cynthia R will be well spent watching the shoreline pass by while we feel the wind on our face and the sun on our skin.
For just a moment may we pay respect to the mountains, and ocean, and the men and women, the mariners who have come before us whom have helped make this possible.
As we watch the waves roll by into the endless blue horizon, we may remember our history and our place on earth and in this universe...
