Spring Break specials to include Happy Hour Sunset Charters free beer and wine when you charter the boat with six 
March 17 2009
Great St. Patrick’s Day sunset charter with three repeat customers celebrating a birthday. Because of a strong north east wind we decided to head north to the barge canal and see what we could find in the way of wild life and get out of the wind for a while. As we passed by the roockery we were treated to a large group of Rosette Spoonbills nesting and sharing their space with all the other local birds that fly up to this overnight retreat. As we headed south we set our sails on a port reach and watched a great sunset.
Thursday’s and Friday’s sunset charters were both full. Second mate Mary worked on Thursday and Friday. First mate Joe got home from his New York turn just in time to jump onboard the boat and help Mary out. The Condon’s, some of our favorite customers were back for more first class treatment provided by the crew of the Double Shaafted. Docking the boat was a bit tight after the dock master tied a large catamaran on an adjacent dock which required us to maneuver into our dock ever so slowly.
Saturday afternoon’s charter featured repeat customers from Whitley West condos (next to the marina) who chartered the boat as part of their mothers 90th birthday celebration. Having twelve people in the mix who all wanted to go out on the boat presented a unique challenge so we had to split them up and take six at a time. The birthday girl and her sisters got to go out on the first sail and were thrilled beyond belief. These great gals gave us a brief history lesson on the great depression and reminded us how much more they had to endure compared to our current economic situation. The grandkids and great grandkids were next and had just as much fun but for different reasons. Whereas the older crowd preferred to stay in the wheelhouse, the younger crowd braved the elements to hang out front.
Saturday evening’s sunset charter with repeat customers from the Beach Place Guest Houreach we got to see the sky clear up and witnessed a beautiful sunset. What a treat after a long week of sailing, LOL.ses started off a little late. After clouds moved in and dropped a little rain we had to quickly get the boat dried off and ready for these special guests. Two missed the boat after getting the dates messed up. The boat was catered with subs, wraps, cheese and crackers and wings from Ryan’s Pizza. We departed the dock at 6pm and headed north to the Merritt Island bird sanctuary and were again treated to the migratory birds positioning for the night. After setting the sails and heading south on a port down wind
