“Come see what the rain looks like from beneath the surface, learn how to read a sextant at solar noon, and experience the feeling of floating in salt water while being pulled by the ancient forces of the trade winds through water as clear as the sky. These experiences have reshaped my life, and they’re sure to empower you as well. Discover new parts of yourself and write a unique chapter in your own story with me.” - Captain Davin Rose
