    My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed going out sailing with Barry on his sailboat during our vacation to Beaufort. Barry is a genuine down to earth guy with whom I really enjoyed talking with. I’ve never been on a sailboat, and wanted to learn the basics of how to sail, so Barry put together a beginners lesson. I highly recommend looking up Barry with Otter Sailing Adventures if interested in sailing or looking to go out on a private charter.
