Sunset Bliss

As the sun gives it's last burst of energy to your soul, hear the gentle ripples of waves, the sound of seals and otters indulging their evening snack; birds of prey overhead calling out to leave them some remains, as your paddle whispers through the Salish Sea, leaving in its trace everything natural as when you discovered it...

Don't forget your sunglasses!
