Sun, Fun and Sailing Slated for 2017
What’s on tap for 2017? If you ask the Sail Wild Hearts crew, they’ll tell you a whole bunch of sun, sand and sailing with a little snorkeling and scuba thrown in for good measure. While we’re preparing for another year of sailing aboard our 53-foot, open-ocean catamaran, take a look at these big events coming this year. Plan your next Orange Beach vacation in conjunction with these events for even more fun and adventure. Oh, and don’t forget to come aboard for a day on the water with us.
