More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a full‑keel ketch and the Salish Sea opens like a page of weathered maps: offshore current, kelp patches, and a low line of the Olympic foothills. The Ingrid Princess moves with a purposeful hush, canvas filling as gulls wheel and harbor seals tow themselves along the bow. In three hours you’ll take the helm, trim sheets, and learn simple seamanship while miles of shoreline and islands slide past.
