Last night we came together to celebrate something greater than ourselves. The Ages of Adventure Centennial Gala was a night of reflection, joy, and truly ferocious generosity.

To all who attended, thank you for making it such a memorable evening. To those who supported this celebration through sponsorships, services, and countless acts of generosity, we quite literally could not have done it without you.

To our entire community of supporters, volunteers, and those who have loved Adventure through every one of her ages, we say with humility, gratitude, and great enthusiasm: THANK YOU!

The cover is off, the crew is aboard, and our beloved Schooner Adventure is coming back to life for another season on the water! ⚓️

Lines are being coiled, decks are being scrubbed, gear is being sorted, and every corner of the ship is getting a little extra care as we get her ship shape for the season ahead.

There’s nothing quite like the first days back aboard — the sound of tools on deck, the smell of salt air, and the joy of seeing Adventure wake up after winter.

Here’s to hard work, good company, and another season under sail. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard soon!
