Adventuress a Prize on The Price is Right!
Adventuress was approached by the Seattle Convention and Visitor's Bureau (SCVB) to be part of a "nautical package" for the Price is Right. We offered two spaces aboard the Getaway for Grown-Ups in the San Juan Islands and the CBS Executives loved it!

Picture of the Month
Originally from Tacoma, Linda Evans has been a fan of tall masted ships since childhood. The first time Linda saw Adventuress, the ship was under full sail in Elliott Bay. The more she finds out about Adventuress' history and mission, the more she appreciates her sitings.
This photo was taken in 2010 from the south west corner of Magnolia Bluff. "The lighting was great and the juxtaposition of the two boats were irresistible," said Linda. "I was very lucky to get this as far away as I was." She used a Canon 100-400 lens.
Thank you for your submission, Linda!
