Sailing 101: Why You Should Get into Sailing
The beauty of sailing is that it can become whatever you want it to be. For some, it's an exciting adventure. For others, it's a peaceful escape, a lifelong hobby, or a reason to spend more time with family and friends. There is no right way to enjoy it.
If you've ever found yourself watching sailboats drift across the horizon and wondering what it would be like to be out there, take that feeling as your invitation. Find a local sailing school, join a community sailing program, or accept an invitation to crew on someone's boat.

Sailing 101: Where and How to Get Into Sailing
Sailing can look like a pretty intimidating activity to get into. But if you live near a "sailable" body of water and you've ever considered giving it a try, here are a few tips to help you take the plunge.

Seafood as a Lens
Wherever human cultures have settled near the sea, they have looked to seafood for, among other things, sustenance and culinary delight. As sailors who believe passionately in the merits of sustainability, we too have looked to the sea for such things– with a very high standard for what we consider acceptable seafood at that.
Seafood offers us an invaluable lens into everything from the direct health of the oceans, to the health of society, to the health of humanity.
