Summer Sailing and Kayaking Summary
Sailing in Prince William Sound and surrounding area, these
are tailor made trips just the way you want. If you want sailing
lessons, the skipper will be happy to give free instruction. If
you are an experienced sailor and would like to steer or help
with the sailing, please let the skipper know and he'll give you
the opportunity. If you just want to relax and leave the sailing
to the skipper, that's fine too, it is your holiday.
If you want to learn or practice your sailing skills, let us know. The skipper
has taught many people to sail. The boat has radar and GPS,
if you would like to do some instrument work. The aft cabin, which
contains the navigational instruments, is the skipper's cabin.
Across from this cabin is the galley; forward of the galley and
aft cabin is the salon. This provides 2 single berths, 6' 2"
long. Forward of the salon is the marine head (bathroom with shower).
The forepeak has a double berth, 6' 6". We provide sleeping
bags, sheets, pillows, small towels and wash clothes.
