A lifelong ocean-cruising sailor and a patron of maritime causes and projects from Hawaii (where he lived for more than half his life) to California, Terry Causey now divides his time between Kona, Hawaii, Sausalito, and Newport Beach, California. He holds his captain's license, endorsed for sailing all oceans, and has navigated throughout the Pacific, including the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, and the Cook, Solomon, and Line Islands.
A successful real estate investor, Terry continues to be a significant benefactor to Call of the Sea. He believes in teaching young people stewardship of the oceans and instilling in them mindfulness of their environment and compassion for each other through education programs that foster a connection to the ocean and nautical heritage. He wants to empower generations of students of all ages and backgrounds to become environmental stewards and transform their world through on-the-water field experiences.
