As a women-helmed technology education development company Waypoint
Ventures is pleased to support Sound Experience, especially Girls at the
Helm. It's more important than ever that girls have mentors to show them
the ropes to reach success. We thank the women who serve as role models in
leadership while working with participants. And, we look forward to GATH
graduate resumes at Waypoint someday soon.

From the Executive Director
Thirty years! It began as an idea that “people will protect
what they learn to love” modeled after legendary folk singer and
activist Pete Seeger’s Hudson River Sloop Clearwater program.
Idealists with a vision for a better world, like Sound Experience
founder Morley Horder, took the helm of Adventuress in 1989
and began changing perceptions – and the course of many lives.
Over the past three decades, an estimated 30,000 children and
teens have sailed aboard Adventuress on powerful day and
overnight programs, directly engaging with this extraordinary
body of water that sustains us and countless other species. While
onboard, under the grandeur of Adventuress’ gaff-rigged sails,
young people experience wind and waves, the power of nature and the critical role we all play
in the future of our waterways and oceans. They experience what it means to be a shipmate.
And they learn to love the Salish Sea.
The next 30 years begins today with Puget Sound’s environmental tall ship fresh off a
decade-long restoration effort. No amount of thanks will be enough to all who made this
happen. This beloved 1913 National Historic Landmark sailing ship – one of only two still in
active operation on the West Coast – is now fully restored thanks to the extraordinary
commitment of this community. Adventuress is ready for the next generation of shipmates.
Partnership has always been important to serving youth, such as the hundreds of dedicated
teachers who have brought their classes aboard Adventuress. Partnership will be more
important than ever in the years to come to ensure Adventuress’ programs remain relevant.
These include the new Everett at Sea initiative (see pgs 4-5) and Washington State Skills
Center programs for high school students where students get credit to learn maritime skills.
Throughout the region, our team is fostering deeply impactful partnerships with schools,
agencies, ports and others committed to educating our youth.
This is the future of Sound Experience. Thank you for joining us tonight and thank you for
giving generously to ensure that powerful Adventuress programs continue to change young
lives and our region for the better.

Everett at Sea is Launched!
Adventuress, Sound Experience and a team of enthusiastic partners continue to
make a difference in the lives of young people in communities throughout the
Puget Sound region
This year marked the first community-wide effort to reach young people growing
up in the Casino Road neighborhood of Everett with powerful shipboard programs
that are relevant to their lives. This densely populated community is marked by
high-density, multi-family apartment buildings and lies in the shadow of Boeing.
It is home to passionate individuals and families working tirelessly for safe spaces
for their children, and to create healthy life choices and experiences for their
teenagers.
In August, Adventuress cast off from the Port of Everett on a multi-day voyage with
teens from the Casino Road community, Everett police officers and other community
leaders. While sailing together, teens and adults worked in watches to sail the ship,
learned about the Salish Sea and experienced a community of respect while aboard.
Most important, they became shipmates with the idea that relationships built “at sea”
will strengthen community connections at home. Already, we are hearing positive
ripples from our partners.
Thank you to the City of Everett, WA State Agencies, Mayor Cassie Franklin,
ChildStrive, YMCA of Snohomish County, the Port of Everett and the Everett Police
Department. With restoration now complete, Sound Experience’s staff and leadership
are working to create programs like Everett at Sea across the region – where an
Adventuress experience is more relevant than ever.
Your support at the Party for Adventuress
will help to grow this program and ears of Soun
Y
others like it in 2020.

Announcing Adventuress PodCast-Off!
Students of all ages and armchair adventurers can now experience fascinating stories about
Adventuress through a new limited podcast series – PodCast-Off – thanks to production by
Jonelle Cornwell and Jenni Boran with partner Arc Media Studios.
The project was made possible by a grant from The National Society of the Colonial Dames of
America in the State of Washington.
Five downloadable episodes can be found at www.soundexp.org/about-us/podcastoff.
17A Very Special Thank You…
Ken Greff and Mark Donahue
For Ken Greff and Mark Donahue, retirement could have meant more
time for relaxing, sailing and personal projects. Instead, it meant
committing to lead the largest and final phase of Adventuress’
restoration – the Capstone Deck Project.
We owe an extraordinary debt of gratitude to Ken and Mark for their
thousands of volunteer leadership hours as Co-Project Managers of the
“deck project.”
With the project’s completion, all of us wish them a proper retirement
(with very occasional interruptions for presentations to an interested
public!)
Mark Donahue

18Thank You Adventuress Captains!
Gordon Sims
Gordon "Bucko Billy" Sims has been a beloved part of the
Adventuress family since 1991, rising to the position of Captain
from 2002 to 2005, and returning as Captain in 2015. He is an
experienced and talented mariner and thoughtful educator with
values deeply grounded in his love for the natural world.
Thank you, Gordon, for all your wisdom, excellence and
dedication to empowering youth to be good shipmates, mariners,
and stewards of the marine environment!
Chris “Zeal” Chimenti
Captain Zeal is one of two operating captains, joining
full-time in 2018. He's worked on board as Bosun, 2nd
Mate, Engineer, Chief Mate and as relief captain in
2017. "I live and breathe boats and I call the Salish Sea
my home, and this passion manifests itself in striving to
be a better leader, teacher and mariner," says Zeal. When
ashore, he's found gracing many wooden boat projects
with his carpentry, rigging and sail making skills, and
will be working as a shipwright this winter on the final
deck phase of Adventuress’ restoration.
Thank you, Zeal, for your leadership, passion for
teaching and commitment to building a strong team!
Rachael Slattery
Rachael Slattery first joined Adventuress in 2008 as a
volunteer Educator/Deckhand, but due to her extensive
maritime experience, rose quickly to the positions of
Chief Mate and then Captain in 2015.
Rachael travels to the Puget Sound region from her farm
in Rhode Island to lead our Girls at the Helm trips, and
is proof that Adventuress’ community of passionate
sailors knows no boundaries. Thank you, Rachael, for
your commitment to our girls and all youth, and for
growing the next generation of passionate environmental
stewards –whether on land or on the sea.
