Enjoy this selection of excellent photos from ASA’s 2011 Exuma Islands flotilla, thanks to member Carole Walsh. This remote series of cays, known locally as the “Out Islands,” are one of our many popular flotilla destinations. It’s a very unique trip–you learn to sail small boats, camp on the beaches at night, and hang out with the local wildlife (see below). The folks on this trip earned their ASA 110 “Basic Small Boat Sailing” certifications, by the way, handling the gorgeous Sea Pearl 21 boats.

Let’s Talk About the Ocean

Sailors are in a unique position to make a meaningful difference. We are the eyes and ears of the ocean. We see what others can’t. We witness the changes—floating plastic bottles, discarded fishing nets, and dying coral reefs. But we can also be the solution.
