How does this sound: Sail from Victoria into Tacoma for our Tall Ships festival? The Ocean Voyages Institute recently published its summer tour schedule for the Kaisei, one of the larger vessels that will be coming to Tacoma.

Here's a description:

Join S/V Kaisei and enjoy the last day of the Victoria Tall Ships festival before setting sail with the fleet on June 29 for Tacoma, Washington. This area is known for pristine blue waters and excellent sailing conditions, combined with beautiful islands and coastal landscapes.

The vessel arrives in Tacoma by July 3, for her appearance in the Tacoma Tall Ships Festival. You will be onboard to take part in the Tacoma Tall Ships Parade of Sail on July 3. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any tall ships fan!

Throughout the voyage, participants have the opportunity to be moderately to actively involved in the sailing of this 151’ Brigantine. Each person can be involved according to their ability.

$1295.00 per person

If I didn't have to work that week (some kind of big festival gearing up in Tacoma), I'd be there.

And if that doesn't work for your schedule, you could book a trip to sail out of Tacoma and back up to Port Alberni, B.C., for the next stop on the tour. That one is only $895.
