“We invite clients to truly ‘unplug’ from the texting, emails and distractions of everyday life for a while. Trade it in for the opportunity to enjoy the glow of a sunrise, watch an eagle or osprey gliding above or listen to a loon call. Enjoy good conversation with family or friends, a crackling fire over a hearty shore lunch, the whirring sound of a fishing line being cast and the excitement of battling a fish on the end of it. Re-connect with nature and create memories for a lifetime.”
