Spooktacular Sailing

Good afternoon everyone!

Is this a trick or a treat? Well, if it has anything to do with sailing aboard a windjammer it must be a treat. During our last cruise we had some very special guests drop by as you can see. They were the life of the party and quite a windy party it was. We will be at the school All Hallows Eve celebration and then a little trick or treating in Camden. Courtney is going to be a pirate (as the bumper sticker says, pirate chicks kick butt) and Sawyer is going to be a mummy (where old schooner linens make their last public appearance). Hope you folks have a great Halloween celebration.

Have a great evening. Be well. Do good, wicked good.

Thanks for the photo Jim Dugan

We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...

A Beautiful Sight

By
During one of our 6 day cruises in July 2010 I was up early one morning and caught a neat reflection of this good looking schooner in Great Cove off Brooklin, Maine. It is one of the loveliest schooners with a graceful sweeping sheer that goes on forever and lovely douglas fir spars that receive a good scraping and slushing every fall. I am a sucker for a beautiful windjammer. OK, you schooner experts out there. Which windjammer is it? Have a great day. Be well. Do good.
