on the Catalina 36 sloop "Sailing Still" with CYA Instructor Greig Williams

Are you drawn to sailing and the marine environment? My own answer to this calling was a sea-going life early on. Sailing the South Pacific, working on commercial vessels in the North Atlantic and Pacific, and formalizing my sea time into a commercial Masters Ticket and CYA Instructor certifications. The question is, how to enter this world in a safe way, with good habits and skills, right from the start? Our West Coast Gulf Islands to Desolation Sound is unique in its beauty, wildlife and inshore security. Allow me to share my experience with you in the CYA format on our own West Coast.

The following information is designed to help you plan for a rewarding sailing and learning experience. If you have any questions, please contact Greig at:
