Serendipity: The faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident.
Blue Surround is about the lifestyle, travel and adventure of the Ocean — customised to personal time schedules in Hong Kong or, through our Cafe Nautique restaurant locations, in Thailand and Malaysia. For many members the skills they learn lead to Ocean Crew or Day Skipper qualifications; power vessel practical and theory courses for Masters & Engineers examinations; and for a few others it leads to advanced qualifications such as Coastal Skipper and Ocean Master. For all it leads to a combination of nature with travel and adventure, sailing, diving, photography, the pleasures of Thai, Italian or International cuisine, and a unique stress management that contributes to putting you more in a moment — with added elements of ocean waters, fresh air and good companionship. Says David Lewis, creator of Blue Surround: “That moment is when we see the real person come out, and a persons true power and energy return. The magic of the wind and water around them removes the stress from the body and the worries from the mind. Everything negative gets left behind.” In Hong Kong, where most people can only spare a few hours over the weekend, Ocean Crew or Day Skipper certificates are popular. Some participate simply to discover if sailing is for them. Others already have qualifications and skills and wish to join like-minded people to sail the oceans and remote islands of Asia — and the world.
