Meet Marcee
and Willie
Sailwood Adventures is an outdoor
adventure business founded to promote healthful, responsible recreation.
Marcee Gray and Willie Condon have brought their talents and enthusiasm
together to share a part of Alaska they know and love. Their endeavors
have led them to design an outdoor adventure program that offers both
independent and assisted travel in the remote setting of Sadie Cove
and Kachemak Bay State Park. Sailwood Adventures offers a private rental
cottage in Sadie Cove, available for overnight stays during the summer
season. We provide Kayak rentals and kayak guiding as a service of
Sailwood Adventures. With our water taxi support, you can customize
your tour to include hiking or other activities in the area. Sailwood
Adventures also offers guided wilderness camping trips for Teens and
Women. These week-long trips combine hiking, mountain biking, and ocean
kayaking in order to cover a variety of terrain.
Marcee Gray holds a Bachelor of Science
degree in Outdoor/Environmental Education from the University of Oregon.
She has led young people in the outdoors since 1979 and it continues
to be her life’s passion. Marcee is at home in the outdoors, and has
extensive knowledge of the Kachemak Bay area. She believes strongly
in the connection between stewardship and personal knowledge or experience;
people who touch the wilderness are more likely to care about its existence
and protection. Sadie Cove is a charming place to experience the wonders
of the natural world and enjoy suspended time.
Willie Condon brings a unique perspective
to Sailwood Adventures. Raised in Chile, South America, Willie obviously
welcomes new experiences. Summers spent on his grandfather’s farm and
exploring the remote areas of southern Chile were good ground work
for his adventuring life. Willie studied Forestry at Paul Smiths College
in upstate New york. He then lived and worked in the Pacific Northwest.
Before returning to live in Chile, Willie decided to see Alaska and
he's never left “The Great Land.” Developing a homesite in the Homer
area has provided his family with a variety of jobs and recreational
opportunities on the south side of Kachemak Bay. When Willie gets his
way, he can be found in our sailboat slowly winding his way through
the world. His love for the sailing life is only one of the many ways
that Willie conveys his love for the out-of-doors and his enthusiasm
and competence in wilderness adventure.
