The friends, sunshine and salt.

The connection you get with the ocean is something incredibly special. The friends you make are for life. And the moments and memories you make out on the water are some of the most humbling and precious ones you will ever make.

Tell us your favourite story ….
In Darwin, surrounded by my friends, sailing rudderless and standing on the front of our boats, watching the sunset, and laughing hysterically at one another about some cringe joke said.

"I love the friends, sunshine and salt"
