Selling the Dream: Book an offshore sailing adventure with Sail Libra

If you've ever dreamed of cutting the lines and running away on a sailboat Captain Ryan is the man to talk to. For a small fee, you can experience what REAL cruising is like aboard Libra, his 60' center cockpit ketch. In relative safety you can experience what offshore passage making is REALLY like, and for a FRACTION of the price of buying your own yacht and fitting it out for offshore.
We sit him down to get his entire story, get a SUPER LESSON in centerboard boats, and see what makes him tick.
