Guests include individuals, families, corporate groups, faith groups. Plus nice folks from group homes, hospitals, shelters – some of whom have never been on a boat before! All participants are asked just one thing: to meet at least one new person. Then, we all just enjoy each other’s company. Oh, we also enjoy coffee, juice, and awesome snacks (individually wrapped!), while watching the sea lions take in some sun. That’s it.
