Welcome to Salient Ocean Adventures
After campaigning Salient during local and international yacht races, including the 2018 Vic-Maui Race, we have decided to take a break from racing and explore B.C.'s West Coast in a more leisurely cruising mode. We started in 2019 with an excursion to the Broughton Archipelago, followed in 2020 exploring Desolation Sound and in 2021 we decided to drop anchor in some of the lesser known bays on Johnstone Strait as well as the Discovery Islands.
