Arrangements are being finalized for our annual 2015 Desolation Sound Cruise. The factory support boat will once again be captained by factory personnel that will be there to answer questions and help with any technical difficulties. This is a really fun adventure that will provide life long memories. There are a handful of spaces left if you would still like to join us.
