Ken and Carol Gillstrom will entice you to sail the varied and spectacular cruising grounds of Canada’s East Coast. A different sailing experience than here on the west coast, you will face the challenges of some longer more exposed ocean passages and more extreme weather. It’s the warm, welcome of the east coast people, the picturesque villages and remote, tranquil anchorages that will keep you coming back.
Ken Gillstrom is a Sail Canada (CYA) Advanced Cruising Instructor and has the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certification. Ken and his wife, Carol, live and teach sailing on their custom designed/built aluminum cutter, Voyageur 10.10. During the past 24 months, they have logged 35,000 miles, including two Atlantic crossings, transiting the Panama Canal and Pacific passages to Galapagos, Hawaii and BC.
Ken’s experience and his “Safety-first” mind set will steer you away from some of the more common pitfalls so you, too, can enjoy safe and memorable cruising adventures on the high seas!
