THE CAPTAIN'S BLOG

When the holiday season rolls in, David Jackson welcomes the freezing temperatures and warmth of wood stoves that the month of December represents. On one weekend, they creep onto arriving ice and wander the snowy forest; creating a nourishing holiday meal.

Wildlife photography might not be glamorous - but for Ryan Tidman, the pursuit and the challenge is beyond worth it. Dip in for a day in Ryan’s life as he navigates the weather and waters of October in the Pacific Northwest, documenting pacific white-sided dolphins in the name of conversation.

When you pair a local commitment to community with a passion for a life lived beyond land, you get: a beer. More specifically, you get Leigh Stratton - owner + Director of Consumption at Bridge Brewing; a craft beer brewery in North Vancouver, BC, Canada on a mission to create meaningful lives for their teams, meaningful moments in the sailing community, and a positive impact on our waterways.

Ryan Tidman—Mustang Survival Ambassador, photographer, videographer, and conservationist—took the time to introduce us to three organizations dedicating their days to advocacy and proactive prevention of the destruction of the places we all love so much. 

In an exciting new partnership in the sailing space, as of April 2021, we’ve joined the U.S. SailGP Team as the official technical clothing partner. 

She grew up next to the water, then found her life’s path on it. Emily Nagel is a professional sailor, an Engineer and Naval Architect, and a Mustang Survival Ambassador.

Get ready to meet the team that innovated, engineered and brought to life Mustang Survival’s new line of gear aimed at women heading out on an adventure; taking on challenges and charging forth in pursuit of everything that lies beyond land. 

There’s something magnetic about the places on and near the water that draw us back time and again. But sometimes when you see the familiar from a new perspective, you can create a whole new adventure.
