Apply · September 2026 Voyage

Applications are open now and close 1 September. We read them as they come and write back to everyone.

Please answer in your own voice. The question about a place that shaped you is the part that matters most. It is how we read for fit with the way we work and the questions we hold. There are no wrong answers. The mix is the whole point.

Full name

Who you are, and what you hope for these waters? A sentence or two, not a CV. Tell us what you aspire to for the land and waters we share.

What will you bring to share? We will all be giving, to the Adventuress, to the Salish, and to each other. What do you offer the crew and the days we will spend together?

Where can we find you online? Anything that helps us see you: website, writing, social, recent work. If little of you lives online, say so and tell us where else to look.

Can you be aboard for all four days, in person and cellphone-free, from 10am Thursday 17 September to 4pm Sunday 20 September?

Yes No

What place, creature, or feature of the coast has shaped how you see the world? What did it teach you, and what are you still learning from it? Write as much or as little as it takes.

Which rate are you applying for? Everyone sails the same voyage, and the rate reflects what you can give.

Crew rate, $1,600 Artist and early-career, $1,000

The Salish Voyage Scholarship The scholarship fund holds places for voices that would otherwise not be aboard. If cost is the barrier and you would otherwise sail, check the box and say a little more under notes.

Anything we should know? Cost, timing, access, dietary needs: we read these too. If cost is the barrier and you would otherwise be aboard, say so here. If nothing applies, write none.

A small question, to filter out machines What surrounds islands?
