We had a wonderful first sail of the season, welcoming both familiar faces and new friends aboard Adventure! A special shoutout to our new friend Max, who joined us from San Diego with his family. We loved hearing about his father, a Navy SEAL Commander!

Here's to a season of fair winds, full sails, and unforgettable memories on the water!
