Upcoming Galiano Island Events: BioBlitz, Pirate Regatta, Tour des Iles & Instagram Workshop

Excited to announce 4 fun events I’m involved with coming up in May & June on Galiano Island. If you’re thinking of coming over to the island for the first time for one of these events… it’s a great idea… you totally should! Here’s a little bit more info about the island from The New York Times and if you get in touch with me I’ll help you figure out travel logistics and accommodations! 🙂

My fav boat in the race. Cargo canoe, stolen sailboard mast and boom, twin 50hp motors, saltiest scalleywags in the Salish Sea.

Gulf Island Pirate Regatta – June 30th, 2019 – Early each summer, sailors gather in the Gulf Islands to vie for the coveted Pirates’ Trophy. What say all you Pirates and Land Lubbers? Come one come all! Learn to sail… your life may depend on it!
