Day, Sunset, and overnight charters

s/v Sol Searcher

is a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 50 .  She is well equipped and quite comfortable for sailing charters.  The cockpit has ample seating for 6 guests and a head (bathroom) is available for your use.  Dodger and bimini provide protection from the elements but the foredeck is always open to sunset sail lovers.  A full enclosure provides the ultimate protection in the shoulder seasons.  She is a CE CLASS A (designed for large sea voyages everywhere) yacht and carries all USCG safety requirements.

Captain Joe

"I love floating on the water, there's something about it that completes me."  joe, USCG Master 50GRT, Auxillary Sail, Assistance Towing

I have been sailing all of my life.  My father built his first boat, a little skiff with an outboard motor.  He eventually became interested in sailing and purchased a GP14.  He and friends would sail much of the upper Chesapeake Bay in that little boat.  One of the infamous stories is negotiating to pay only half the ramp launching fee at Sandy Point State Park and heading north to Elkneck State Park.  Quite an ambitious undertaking for three guys in a 14 foot sailboat.  By the time I came along our family had a Meridian 25 docked in Havre de Grace, MD.  By the time I turned seven my parents had upgraded to a Sabre 28 named "Poinciana," after the song, and I would sail on that boat for the next 22 years before losing my dad to cancer.  Over those years I got to share time on the water with him in various boats of my own, including a Hobie 16, Precision 23, and a Grady White. In 2005 I bought my dream boat, a 1990 Sabre 38mkII named "Voila", he truly would have appreciated that boat.  She was the boat that Sabre took to the NY boatshow that year, he would have been on board her then.  My mom did sail many miles on "Voila."  Now I have Beneteau Oceanis 50 for my sailing charter . She's big, beautiful, fast, and has all the comforts of home. Come experience a Chesapeake Bay sunset sail .

It's really simple!

I'll be ready to go and the boat will be ready to go on time.  You can bring food and drinks.  If the weather is going to bad we can reschedule.  Just pick a date and drop me a line. Sunset sails leave the dock 2.5 hours before sunset.

Frequently asked questions.

Please reach us at [email protected]  if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Absolutely NOT!  I can handle the boat by myself, I may ask you to help with lines while docking or if you want to drive or trim the sails you can.  If you just want to decompress and watch the world go by that's fine too. 

In a word, no.  However, this is not a handicap accessible activity.  If you can walk  a hundred yards and do steps you will be fine.  For the very young, kids love the boat.  They'll want to run all over, push buttons and generally drive their parents nuts.  I'm fine with kids, have a couple of my own, I just ask you look after yours. 

Six is the maximum number of guests I can take sailing.  This does not include the captain or crew.  

Yes, you are more than welcome to pack a cooler with food and drinks for your day on the water.  I would recommend that you keep it simple, It may be easy to eat a sandwich while sailing but it is no small task to make one.  

Don’t forget your cameras!  Sun screen ( please, no sprays , it stains the boat), hats, and sunglasses usually come in handy and there is always the possibility to get wet, a light rain jacket made be prudent.  Non-marking shoes are required or you can go barefoot.  The spring/fall days start cool but tend to warm up in the afternoon and then cool down at sunset, so dress in layers.

The bay is not like the open ocean, not many people have gotten seasick on my boat.  If anyone in your party needs to take  motion sickness meds , please tell them to follow the instructions on the label, which will most likely tell them to take it hours ahead of time.  

Rock Hall is a quaint little town on Maryland's eastern shore.  Once known for waterman it is now primarily a tourist destination.  There are numerous restaurants and lodging options and the town has many festivals throughout the year.  More information can be found on www.rockhall.md.com

Sol yacht description.

Launching in 2023, SÓL presents silent luxury and the future of sustainability and technology. SOL's expansive 80' x 39' design offers vast bow, cockpit, saloon and flybridge areas equal to yachts twice SOL's length. This ECO Sunreef collects the sun to drive its electric motors for clean power yachting. Carefully selected materials, systems and practices place people and planet first. The finest cuisine choices include fully planted-based cruises, or the finest of any culinary preferences. SÓL’s social spaces feature comfortable seating areas crafted from natural materials. Wraparound windows frame the light and airy main salon for ocean-view panoramas, which continue in the flybridge above. SÓL’s interior blends seamlessly with the outside through aft glass doors that open to an extensive indoor-outdoor living space. An amazing crew of four (4) to make your charter experience a memorable one.

My name is Ben and my wife, Leslie, and I just completed a 7-day cruise on your yacht, Sol. It was our honeymoon and we had never been on a yacht charter previously. We selected Sol based on photos and advice from the yacht broker. Our expectations for the yacht were high and we were so excited prior to the trip. <br /> <br /> And I must say, the yacht exceeded every one of our extremely high expectations, and beyond. Sol is spectacular, and your selection of furnishings and accessories couldn’t be any better. We were proud to be on the ship and found ourselves constantly admiring and appreciating all the thought and design that created the beautiful décor and features.<br /> <br /> We knew that Sol would be a fabulous yacht, but we didn’t realize that the ship would only serve as the platform for what was to come. The crew of Jack, Blake, Mallory and Richard made the experience come alive and they were absolutely wonderful. They anticipated and adapted to our needs and desires and were so engaged in creating something remarkable for my wife and me. They worked non-stop, but we got to know them personally and adore each one of them. There talents compliment one another and there is a culture formed by this small team that works seamlessly to create remarkable experiences.<br /> <br /> Another huge surprise was the amazing food and drinks served throughout the trip. We didn’t anticipate that Mallory’s talents would consistently elicit comments from us that this is one of the best meals that we have ever enjoyed. Blake kept us well hydrated, served and cared for our needs, and collaborated with them to create memories for us that we never would have thought of. Richard is a hidden gem and contributes to the experience in so many ways. Jack orchestrated the many stops and places we visited, as well as assembled a great team and created an evolved culture that has everyone knowing what they stand for, where they are going and how to get there. It is apparent that all of them participate in decision-making and own the outcome of their efforts. Every one of the team members contributed at mealtimes, getting drinks into our hands and special experiences on land and in the ocean, to create special memories for life for us.<br /> <br /> We are fortunate to travel frequently and stay in many properties that are rated as some of the best in the world. Yet, this 7-day trip was the best 7 days of vacation that we have ever experienced. From beginning to end, this experience was exceptional. <br /> <br /> Thank you for giving your team the latitude to create a special memory for us. It was magical. We are already assembling a group of friends to share with us another experience with your wonderful team on your amazing yacht, Sol.<br /> <br /> All the best,<br /> Ben and Leslie <br /> ";s:10:"yachtGC1P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC2Title";s:14:"Christmas 2023";s:8:"yachtGC2";s:951:"I recently chartered the boat Sol for an unforgettable adventure in the British Virgin Islands, and it was nothing short of spectacular.

The staff, including Richard, Blake, and Mallory, were exceptional, adding to the overall amazing experience.<br /> <br /> The boat itself, named Sol, was a beautiful haven for our family. Its comfort and elegance exceeded our expectations, providing a cozy retreat after each day’s exploration. The food was a delightful highlight, further enhancing our journey.<br /> <br /> We are already eagerly anticipating our next charter with Sol. The combination of breathtaking scenery, outstanding staff, and the sheer beauty and comfort of the boat make it an experience we can’t wait to relive.

Crew members on Mike Lynch yacht tell of moments it sank off Sicily

Crew members on Mike Lynch’s yacht have spoken of the moments when a storm sank the vessel off Sicily and their efforts to help save passengers, after a disaster that killed the British tech tycoon and six other people.

Matthew Griffiths, who was on watch duty on the night of the disaster two weeks ago, told investigators that the crew members did everything they could to save those on board the Bayesian , according to comments reported by Italian news agency Ansa on Saturday.

Griffiths, the boat’s captain James Cutfield, and ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton have been placed under investigation by the Italian authorities for potential manslaughter and shipwreck . Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

“I woke up the captain when the wind was at 20 knots (23 mph). He gave orders to wake everyone else,” Ansa quoted Griffiths as saying.

“The ship tilted and we were thrown into the water. Then we managed to get back up and tried to rescue those we could,” he added, describing the events of the early hours of Aug. 19, when the Bayesian had been anchored off the Sicilian port of Porticello .

“We were walking on the walls (of the boat). We saved who we could, Cutfield also saved the little girl and her mother,” he said, referring to passenger Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter. In all there were 15 survivors of the wreck.

Cutfield exercised his right to remain silent when questioned by prosecutors on Tuesday, his lawyers said, saying he was “worn out” and that they needed more time to build a defense case.

Before this, Cutfield gave a similar description to Griffiths’ to investigators, according to comments reported on Sunday by Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera.

Cutfield said the boat tilted by 45 degrees and stayed in that position for some time, then it suddenly fell completely to the right, the newspaper reported.

Parker Eaton had not previously commented on the investigation. On Sunday, Il Corriere quoted him as saying that all doors and hatches were closed when the storm hit the boat, except one giving access to the engine room.

That door was located on the side opposite to the tilting and so could not be a factor causing the sinking, he said.

Prosecutor Raffaele Cammarano said last week that the vessel was most likely hit by a “downburst”, a very strong downward wind.

The sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did.

Prosecutors in the town of Termini Imerese, near Palermo , have said their investigation will take time, with the wreck yet to be salvaged from the sea.

"Ship Tilted, We Were Thrown": Crew Member On UK Tycoon Mike Lynch Yacht

Matthew Griffiths, who was on watch duty on the night of the tragedy, told investigators that the crew members did everything they could to save those on board the Bayesian, according to comments reported by Italian news agency Ansa.

A crew member on Mike Lynch's yacht has spoken of being thrown into the water and efforts to rescue passengers as a storm sank the vessel off Sicily this month, in a disaster that killed the British tech tycoon and six other people.

Griffiths, the boat's captain James Cutfield, and ship engineer Tim Parker Eaton have been placed under investigation by the Italian authorities for potential manslaughter and shipwreck. Being investigated does not imply guilt and does not mean formal charges will follow.

"I woke up the captain when the wind was at 20 knots (23 mph/37 kph). He gave orders to wake everyone else," Ansa quoted Griffiths as saying.

"The ship tilted and we were thrown into the water. Then we managed to get back up and tried to rescue those we could," he added, describing the events of the early hours of Aug. 19, when the Bayesian had been anchored off the Sicilian port of Porticello.

"We were walking on the walls (of the boat). We saved who we could, Cutfield also saved the little girl and her mother," he said, referring to passenger Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter. In all there were 15 survivors of the wreck.

Cutfield exercised his right to remain silent when questioned by prosecutors on Tuesday, his lawyers said, saying he was "worn out" and that they needed more time to build a defence case. Parker Eaton has not commented on the investigation.

Prosecutor Raffaele Cammarano said last week that the vessel was most likely hit by a "downburst", a very strong downward wind.

However, the sinking has puzzled naval marine experts, who said a vessel like the Bayesian, built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did.

History of Omsk

Foundation of omsk.

The need to build a Russian fortress on the banks of the Irtysh at the mouth of the Om River arose in connection with the steppe nomadic peoples. In particular, with the Oirats, whose tribes in the first decades of the 17th century began to appear within the borders of the Russian state being under the onslaught of their external enemies and as a result of internal civil strife. However, various foreign and domestic political problems of Russia hindered the development and defense of the South Siberian borders.

The situation changed only at the beginning of the 18th century, when the Russian conquest of Siberia intensified. Since Peter I paid great attention to geographical research in the south, the expeditions of that time combined socio-political tasks and tasks of scientific research.

One of such expeditions was led by the Russian military and statesman, associate of Peter I, Major General Ivan Bukhgolts. The goals of the expedition, numbering about 3,000 people, were to search for ore and gold deposits, the discovery of trade routes to India and China, as well as the construction of towns on the Irtysh River.

The expedition left Tobolsk to the south along the Irtysh in July 1715. In the spring of 1716, after a conflict with the Dzungars in the north of today’s Kazakhstan, the remnants of the expedition (about 700 people) withdrew to the mouth of the Om River, where they laid a new fortress named Omsky ostrog (fortified settlement).

According to the census of 1725, 992 people lived in the fortress, in 1742 - 1,092 people. From the first years of its existence, it served as a place of exile for prisoners. After serving hard labor and imprisonment, a lot of them stayed in Omsk for permanent residence.

More Historical Facts…

Omsk in the second half of the 18th century

The ethnic composition of the region’s population was formed in the process of settling the territory. Russians, Germans, Ukrainians, Poles, Belarusians, and representatives of many other nationalities were sent here to serve or were exiled. The indigenous people of the region were the Siberian Tatars and Kazakhs, who switched to a sedentary lifestyle.

The foundation of the second Omsk fortress took place in 1762. The first fortress, although it occupied a favorable geographical position, was wooden and, by the middle of the 18th century, it was dilapidated. In 1765, new stone fortifications were constructed. The first stone structure of the fortress was the Resurrection Military Cathedral, built in 1773 and preserved to this day.

In the end of the 18th century, the Omsk fortress was one of the largest structures in the eastern part of the Russian Empire, its area was more than 30 hectares. In 1782, it was transformed into a town named Omsk within the Tobolsk Governorate. In 1785, the coat of arms of Omsk was approved.

Omsk became the center of management of the Siberian transport routes and the Siberian Cossack army, which not only guarded the South Siberian borders, but also made a huge contribution to the economic development of the steppe expanses of Kazakhstan, the annexation of Central Asia to the Russian Empire.

Omsk in the 19th century

The fire of 1819 destroyed almost half of the town including the archive and the magistrate of Omsk with all the first archival documents. Therefore information about the life of Omsk in the 18th - early 19th centuries is scarce and fragmentary. In 1825, the population of the town was about 9,000 people.

In 1829, the town’s development plan was approved. It was made by the famous Petersburg architect V.I. Geste, who took the city of St. Petersburg as a model with its wide avenues, huge neighborhoods, fountains, cast-iron bridges, and an abundance of green spaces.

The composition of the population of Omsk was not quite usual. In the middle of the 19th century, since Omsk was the center of the military and civil administration, the proportion of the military in the local population reached about 60%.

Fyodor Dostoevsky (one of the greatest psychological novelists in world literature), who served a term of hard labor in the Omsk prison in 1850-1854, in a letter to his brother gave Omsk the following description: “Omsk is a disgusting town. There are almost no trees. In summer, heat and wind with sand, in winter, a snowstorm. I have not seen nature. The town is dirty, military and highly depraved.”

By the second half of the 19th century, Omsk in its development outstripped many steppe towns and became not only an administrative, but also a commercial and industrial center. In 1861, in Omsk, there were 2,122 houses (31 stone houses), 34 factories and plants, about 20 thousand residents.

In 1892, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway began, which gave a new impetus to the economy of Siberian towns and positively influenced Omsk. The development of the Trans-Siberian Railway caused an increase in the urban population due to migrants who came to work from the central part of the Russian Empire. According to the 1897 census, 37.3 thousand people lived in Omsk. The town had 14 streets with a total length of more than 140 km and 13 squares.

Omsk in the first half of the 20th century

The beginning of the 20th century was a time of great changes for Siberia. Mass peasant colonization caused a sharp leap in the development of the region’s economy, primarily its agrarian sector, and the Trans-Siberian Railway ensured the inclusion of the local economy in the system of the All-Russian and European markets.

Due to its favorable economic and geographical position - at the intersection of the railway and the Irtysh River, in the middle of a vast agricultural territory - Omsk quickly turned into a large transport, trade and industrial center of Western Siberia and Governor-Generalship of the Steppes (Eastern and Central Kazakhstan).

Wholesale trade in bread, butter and other agricultural products was concentrated here. Omsk also became one of the industrial, social and cultural centers of Western Siberia. By 1903, the city’s population grew to 60 thousand people. In 1914, it had about 134.8 thousand residents. Omsk became the most populous city in Siberia.

During the Civil War on the territory of the former Russian Empire, from June 1918 to November 1919, Omsk was the residence of the Supreme Ruler of Russia, Admiral Alexander Kolchak, who declared this city the capital of white Russia opposing red Russia of the Bolsheviks. Soviet power was finally established in the city in 1920.

In the summer of 1921, an event took place that had a decisive impact on the cultural and economic life of Omsk. The functions of the administrative center of Siberia were transferred from it to the city of Novonikolaevsk (future Novosibirsk). In 1934, Omsk became the administrative center of a separate Omsk Oblast.

Over the years of industrialization, Omsk became one of the largest centers for agricultural engineering in the USSR. The metal-working industry also developed at a rapid pace. In 1939, Omsk numbered more than 288 thousand people.

During the Second World War, about 200 industrial enterprises were evacuated to Omsk, as well as 60 hospitals, dozens of educational institutions, theaters, museums, and hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Omsk after the Second World War

In the post-war years, new enterprises were put into operation in Omsk, all existing factories and plants were reconstructed and expanded. The industrial potential of the city was also strengthened by the Omsk oil refinery, the largest in the country. In connection with the rapid development of industry, especially petrochemical enterprises, the ecological situation deteriorated. The concentration of harmful substances in the air sharply increased. In 1964, the population of Omsk was about 702 thousand people.

In the 1970s-1980s, Omsk developed rapidly. In 1975, the city’s population exceeded 1 million. The most pressing problem was the ecological situation. Omsk was in the top 10 cities of Russia in terms of environmental pollution. Another problem that required an immediate solution was the development of passenger transport. The capacity of Omsk streets was exhausted, and therefore the construction of the subway became an urgent issue.

The economic crisis that gripped Russia after the collapse of the USSR had a negative impact on the economy of Omsk and the region as a whole. There was a significant decline in industrial production, construction volumes fell, and unemployment rose. A lot of organizations of the defense complex, research institutes, and design bureaus found themselves in a deep crisis without the state defense order.

The share of mechanical engineering and metalworking, light industry, and, to a lesser extent, chemical and petrochemical, forestry and woodworking industries decreased. At the same time, the share of the fuel industry, energy, and construction materials industry began to grow.

In the 2000s, Omsk again became one of the most important economic centers of Western Siberia with a developing mechanical engineering, petrochemical industry, various branches of the woodworking, construction industry, and a highly productive agro-industrial complex. In recent years, Omsk has also acquired the features of one of the largest Siberian centers of entrepreneurship and banking/financial activities.

Omsk - Features

Omsk is located in the south of the West Siberian Plain at the confluence of the Om River into the Irtysh, about 150 km from the border of Russia with Kazakhstan. About 60% of all residents of Omsk Oblast live in Omsk. The City Day of Omsk is celebrated on the first Saturday of August.

The city’s coat of arms is very similar to the first coat of arms of Omsk approved by Empress Catherine II in 1785. It depicts a part of the brick fortifications, which symbolizes the reason for its foundation as a fortress and the center of the Siberian defensive line.

Omsk belongs to the temperate climatic zone with a continental climate of the forest-steppe of the West Siberian belt. It is distinguished by an abundance of sunlight. The average air temperature in January is minus 16.3 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19.6 degrees Celsius. The highest wind speeds are observed in winter and spring, which is the reason for frequent snow and dust storms.

In the past, the ecological situation in Omsk was very unfavorable. Since 2011, the city’s environmental development rating has increased significantly. This was the result of large-scale modernization of many large industries (including the Omsk oil refinery). Today, road transport is the main source of air pollution in the city.

The level of pollution of the Omsk rivers - Irtysh and Om - remains consistently high. Swimming in them is prohibited. While industrial effluents are becoming more environmentally friendly, sewers are releasing waste products including diesel fuel and petroleum products into the rivers. Dust raised by dust storms is also a serious problem for the city as it contains a lot of harmful substances including lead.

The city’s industry is based on oil refining, petrochemistry, chemical industry, mechanical engineering (production of aerospace equipment, armored vehicles, agricultural equipment). Omsk is a major transport junction - the Trans-Siberian Railway runs through the city from west to east, and the navigable Irtysh River crosses it from south to north. Omsk Airport offers regular flights to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Surgut, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Salekhard, Kazan, Krasnodar, Sochi.

The unfinished subway of Omsk has become famous in Russia thanks to its only one fully built station. Its construction began back in 1992. However, due to funding problems, the completion of the first line was postponed numerous times. In 2019, it was finally decided to permanently stop construction. For local residents, because of the long wait for the completion of the construction, the Omsk metro symbolizes unrealizable hopes, they talk about it with irony.

In Omsk, there are practically no buildings higher than 50 meters, according to this parameter it is one of the lowest cities with a population of over one million. 130 architectural monuments are concentrated in the central part of the city, almost half of the total number.

Main Attractions of Omsk

Dormition Cathedral - the largest church in Omsk located in the very center of the city. The original church was built in 1891-1898. In 1935, it was completely destroyed.

At night, the building is illuminated and looks especially majestic. Tarskaya Street, 7.

Irtysh Embankment - the main walking street of Omsk with a picturesque view of the Irtysh River. Built in the middle of the 20th century, the embankment was reconstructed in the 2000s. You can walk along the alley on foot, ride rollerblades or a bike.

Merchant Batyushkin’s Mansion (1902). This architectural monument is located on the Irtysh Embankment.

There is a similar sculpture in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

Lyuba Monument . This sculpture, located on the opposite side of Lenin Street from the monument to the plumber Stepanych, is especially loved by Omsk residents and tourists, who love to be photographed against its background.

This beauty in a lace dress with a neckline and a crinoline sitting on an openwork bench and reading a novel had a real prototype - Lyubov (diminutively Lyuba or Lyubasha) Gasford, the wife of the Governor-General of Siberia, who lived in Omsk in the 19th century and died at a young age due to illness. One of the streets of Omsk and the park are named in her memory. She is a local symbol of femininity and beauty.

Our Logo Reveal!

When we showed up to start outfitting our boat, Iliad had already done our logo placement on the boat. It just didn't seem real when we walked up and saw it larger than life and so gorgeous!! Our logo was designed by the very talented songbird Jordyn Jackson, who also happens to be half of the fabulous musical duo of Flagship Romance. (Check out Flagship Romance online. We also use a LOT of their music in our videos. They are some serious talent!) So when did it really hit home? This logo, this boat, this life - halfway around the globe and seriously down under...

It really hit home on the day we completed commissioning for our brand new Iliad-62 Hull #1 . Sol Searcher was a reality. She was ours.

“We hereby name you Sol Searcher...”

All the paperwork was done. REAMS of paperwork, back and forth zoom meetings with the company in Singapore that was helping us with getting our boat "flagged" in the southern hemisphere. (We went with the Cook Islands. Good standards = good regards from other ports of call.) Paperwork. Insurance forms. No one knew what, exactly, to do with yacht owners from America (that little place up and around the globe.) Radio licenses, dinghy registration, paperwork for every camera and piece of electronics, registrations. Oh, the paperwork. We gave thanks every step for Marcus Overman at Iliad Catamarans who held our hands, made multiple phone calls, faxes, video calls and emails on our behalf. He literally was our boating-fairy-godfather in this whole experience.

And all the things

Outfitting a brand spanking new boat is like outfitting a house. Cindy and Art, our friends and captain/first mates, helped us spend a lot of dough on all the things. Because we needed all the things. A camera to see at night? Done! A diving set up? Done!! Stinger Suits and all the gear? Done! Small kitchen appliances and dishware? Done! It was never ending. But when it did end, we had a boat that was now a home. We had comfortable mattresses and sheets. We had the proper shampoo and soap. We still had boat toilet paper, but well, there is NO arguing about certain things with the captain. His word is law. So no bananas, but lots of gummies. We. Were. Ready.

But first, the naming ceremony.

The owners and staff of Iliad all showed up. They brought flowers, champagne and munchies for us all to share. They made us feel very special and they did it in a quintessential Australian manner. We had a beautiful ceremony and said all the right things to properly name the boat and keep ourselves in Poseidon's favor. It was all good until I went to smash the bottle of champagne over the stern and put a little divot in the stainless. Apparently there is a knack to hitting the bottle over the boat. I'd say that next time, I will do better. But Sol Searcher may just be the end of the rainbow for us. At that moment, I looked up at our logo on the boat. Larger than life. It was real. We were on Sol Searcher. We were Sol Searcher. From that first conversation about branding we had come so far.

It all started from an idea for a journey, both outward and inward. From that came a name and from that came a logo. And an idea to take you all along on our journey. Let's go!!
