February 22-28 2009
Spring your clocks ahead this Sunday morning and enjoy our added afternoon sail, 2pm-4pm untill the end of November. Book the boat with six and only pay for five.
The week started out cold and windy. On Monday evenings’ sunset sail, second mate Mary and I took three past customers out for a fast ride on
the river north to the Barge canal to look at wild life and get out of the wind for a few minutes. This was a good opportunity to see some bird life including the elusive Roseate Spoonbill and three raccoons foraging along the river. After getting lots of pictures we continued south with a partially rolled out jib to control our speed. Our guests got to witness a beautiful sunset on this last leg back into the marina.
Thursday, second mate Mary crewed a lunch charter. Our passengers, two from the Beach Place Guest Houses and a couple from Patrick AFB got to experience a delightful lunch on the forward deck and a great sail south along Rockledge Drive with a full set of sails; the wind blowing ten knots from the SSE meant three tacks with a run north back to the Marina.
The weekend finally arrived, and, after dropping off a good friend at the airport at 7am we readied the boat for a lunch trip. First mate Joe, being back for the weekend from his job at JetBlue, got to work his magic with the guests. A family of 6 that had all come together for a visit was treated to a warm, windy day on the river just before the cold front moved in. Other than our Sunday weather cancellation, the week went very well.
