You are invited to explore beyond skill or knowledge—a destination of profound unity with your vessel, your environment, and every unfolding moment of navigation. This destination is more than acquired facts or mastered techniques. It is an opening to a joyful experience of unity and re-creation.

Your knowing is embodied and embedded in every element you encounter. Your design is revealed here and now, enacted in the world around you, and extended as you harmonize with wind, water, mind, and vessel to become co-creator of each moment.

Here, every voyage is the way of The Enlightened Pilot.

MAKE IT STAND OUT

My voyage carries wisdom from both sides of my family. The wisdom of my grandfather, Rev. Lester E. Olson, a preacher whose passion for truth shaped my spirit, and my mother, Jan Rittmer, whose pen and insight helped carve every word and idea, are woven throughout. Their gifts, along with my own, are what you receive—in The Enlightened Pilot, in all of my writing, and in every unfolding voyage. —Capt. Jay
