Over 45 years ago co-founder and Captain Eric Reed participated in his first ash scattering ceremony with his father and four brothers off Catalina Island in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. Since that time Captain Reed has been navigating the beautiful coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, deeply impressed by the vast beauty and completeness of the sea and the planet which it supports. Instilled with awe and respect for our circle of life that depends on it, Eric enjoys returning to the sea frequently and sharing this experience with others, both in life and in a dignified celebration of one’s life.
