[ BEHIND THE SCENES ] Sea Life

Editor’s Note: For this month’s feature on Erica Kruger and her empowering work with SEASTR (pages 48-55), photographer Carly Giles of Pink Fin Photography (pinkfinphotography.com) not only shared incredible images with us, but also her behind-the-scenes story of paddling alongside these inspiring women to get the shot.

“A lot went wrong for me that morning—I lost my lens cap, tore a hole in my wetsuit while putting it on, realized I forgot my gloves—but holy cow, what I gained from that weekend was everything. I got to swim and hang behind my camera and watch all these strangers become friends. I watched them inspire and empower each other, whoop and holler for each other on all the waves being caught, learn about how the ocean has impacted their lives from creating art to raising awareness for domestic violence…I got to capture all of it, and it changed me…I can’t believe I got to be there to witness it all. [Erica Kruger] is a BEAST. And I didn’t know how many ways a person could bail off their board until I swam in the water next to her and her crazy dismounts!”

[ SWEET SNAPS! ] Photo Ops

Editor’s Note: I’m loving the photos popping up in my inbox of your Northwest adventures— from an illuminating shot of Bell Harbor Marina during this year’s Seattle Boat Show to a snap of a Seattle-based yacht moored near Sawyer Glacier in Alaska. Keep ‘em coming!

Editor’s Note: We are always happy to lend our support to local programs like this one for adults who want to learn to sail. Fair winds to the Seattle Mountaineers Sailing Program!

Kate, I wanted to express my appreciation to Northwest Yachting for your support of the Seattle Mountaineers Sailing Program. We are a volunteer run program and our skippers donate their time and vessels to the program. We teach adults the basics of sailing and provide opportunities for course graduates to sign up for sails on various sized sailboats. I reached out and asked for a donation of enough magazines to pass out to our 2022 course participants. Thank you so much for honoring the request! We are very appreciative of Northwest Yachting’s support of our program and wanted to reach
