The Bluewater Cruising Association is once again pleased to present the 2018 Ocean Cruising Adventure Series, with sponsorship support from Pacific Yachting. This Vancouver tradition has now been running for 42 years.

The three unique talks will be held at the Scottish Cultural Centre in South Vancouver on Friday evenings, starting January 26, 2018. Anne Trudel, the new OCA Coordinator, has lined up a group of fascinating speakers who will entertain and educate their audience with great stories and photos about their cruising experiences:
