Pacific North West Images

The Schooner Martha offers a variety of sail training and family adventure programs, here are a few answers to some of the questions we receive along with some photo images.
Questions about sailing in the San Juan Islands.
Do we anchor at night?    Yes, most of the time we are anchored at night, on a longer trip to Desolation Sound there may be one or two over night sails.
  Do we go for hikes and explore the islands?    Yes, we try to have the anchor down in time to hike and explore or sit on the beach by afternoon, before dinner time.
  If we arrive at an anchorage late, we plan a hike the next morning, except when in racing format, we keep a relaxed pace.
  Are meals out of a box or like camping?   No, we do not call our meals gourmet,  but what comes out of the galley is wholesome cooking with fresh organic produce and local grass fed beef, and of course Salmon.   
For those who are new to sailing in the north west here are a few more images taken from past sail training / family cruises.
