“My mental health improved in just a week and I learned the values of life and what my life is worth. You guys helped me grow as a person because you showed me that there’s more to life and to keep moving forward and don’t let one little thing ruin your day.” – Trainee 📷: Arwen

It may technically be the middle of winter, but we’re already thinking about a summer spent sailing to islands like this… If you want to sail with us this summer but haven’t registered yet, you still have time 🎉 buff.ly/31pYkot 📷: Sarah R. #sailtraining #explorebc

If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, why not come down to the #VanBoatShow and say hello to Skippers Dave and John? Dave is at booth 442, and John is at the floating portion of the show with one of our donated boats that is currently for sale. #boatingbc

Happy (unconventional) Easter! We hope you know how much you are loved as we celebrate the gift of grace in this time. Even though for many of us this weekend looks different than we had planned, may it still be filled with (virtual) connection to those you love 📷: Judah Specht

Chris and Patrick are busy at our shop as they build a new dory for the Pacific Grace. We appreciate the skill and support these two bring to our team! 🙌

The new dory is coming along nicely! Recently, Chris and Patrick have been adding on the sheer strakes (uppermost planks). They use steam to transfer heat and moisture to them, which helps make the planks more supple as they bend them to the shape of the boat. Check it out!
