My boat guy, Scott Gienow of Sweet Pea Marine Services, is offering guide/training services in Desolation Sound this summer. He’ll be joining my boat on Monday August 4th and I have him booked for a 3 day run. I’d like to keep him a bit longer to explore some of the more technical aspects of Desolation Sound. This is where you come in…
I’m looking for another 2 or 3 boats to join me on our adventure. Your cost would be a mere $600/boat for 6 days of trip planning, guidance/training/expertise & entertainment (!!). I’ll be hosting Scott on my boat and his food, accommodation & travel expenses have already been covered.
Our current plan is to meet up in Refuge Cove on Monday August 4th – that would be Day 1 of our trip. We’d have Scott at our disposal through Saturday August 9th. He would depart on the 10th for another gig. There’s 1 day of wiggle room if we need it, but that’s it. He’s booked up on either end – the guy is good.
My agenda includes a night at Dent Island Lodge if there’s availability + running Yaculta Rapids, Hole-in-the-Wall, Devil’s Hole, Waiatt Bay, etc. The exact route is flexible and will be determined by us, but I want to use Scott to experience the more difficult/technical aspects of Desolation. I’d also like to raft up, stern tie and whatever else we can think of. I’m new to all this stuff and want to maximize the value of his time.
I envision Scott rotating his time between our boats so that we each get the benefit of his insight. I’ll be hosting him on my boat each evening so you do not have to provide him with sleeping quarters, meals & such.
To summarize, I am not looking for additional passengers, I’m looking for other boaters who would like to join us on a fun-filled, learning experience on the beautiful waters of Desolation Sound. Whether you’re new to the area or an experienced boater, I guarantee you’ll get tremendous value from spending time with Scott – and the price point I’m offering can’t be beat!
Intrigued? Send me a PM and we’ll discuss details.
Cheers,
Mary
