Spring 2008
Broughton Islands Flotilla |
|
Beauty and grandeur around every corner, the delights of cruising the
waters and islands of Desolation Sound and the Broughton Islands Group,
are many and memorable. Keep a watch out for bears, whale, deer and
eagles, gather muscles and oysters, bird watch, fish and relax, as you
explore these wondrous cruising grounds. Join any one or more of the
five flotilla legs, timed to provide the best weather and scenery,
before the summer crowds arrive. Charter one of our well-maintained
yachts yourself or, if you prefer, we have several by-the-stateroom
rental options available. Beginning and advanced learning opportunities
as well. |
