To promote the appreciation of sailing and foster a community and culture committed to advancing both sailing and sailing education in the Juneau area.
Tales of adventure sailing from Sweden to England across the North Sea were provided by Denise Wiltse at the January sailor talk. A great crowd turned out at the Alaskan tasting room where sailors made new connections and renewed friendships. Stay tuned for updates on the February sailor talk and an upcoming SEAS social gathering.

The weekend was shaping up to be a great one. After the wet and cold July, the crew of Haiku was really looking forward to some sunny sailing, a beach party, and some great camaraderie on the hook at Ad Cove. The forecast called for some light westerlies, which, as every Juneau sailor knows means there will be some decent breeze on the backside of Douglas, and probably some sunny weather.
