2024 Sailing Season is coming! See you April 13, 2024!
And that is exactly how the day was. It was an adventure all day long. And everyone that came out with us today had the true adventurer spirit. Despite the rain, which wasn’t to bad, the wind was awesome and made the sailing exhilarating. With winds exceeding 20+ knots sometimes the boat was flying. We … Read more
Today, we had a private charter book us for a 3 hour cruise. No… not the Gilligan’s theme song. They were 5 minutes late, so no need to sing. Anyway, they all were teachers in a private school and wanted to relax before the first day of school on Monday. Relax they did. With very … Read more
Claudette from Phoenix is our newest sailing junkie. After dropping her daughter off to school and having some free time on her hands she came out sailing with us today. Letting us know that she wanted to take sailing lessons we put her in charge of the boat right away. After Rena explained the number … Read more
Another light air day on the Schooner Woodwind II. The first cruise had wind, and the others had enough to sail up wind but motor downwind. All through the day we saw tons of birds. And lucky for us, we had Don, our bird enthusiast, aboard as crew. We saw cormorants flying in V-shaped formations … Read more
What do you do if there is no wind? It was a beautiful cool evening, so we motored up the Severn River. We are very fortunate to have such a beautiful area to show off. We had many of the children on board take the helm. As you can see, for young Caroline, it was … Read more
Today was a great, very light day. The wind started out very light on our first cruise with just 5 people. It was overcast and cool, and as much as we tried to sail, there was not enough wind. We took them up Back Creek. They really enjoyed it. We had a family from England … Read more
It started out as a very light wind day today but increased as the day wore on. We were supposed to match race against the other boat on our 1st sail but the wind did not cooperate. On the 2nd sail the wind filled in nicely and we had a great sail as we did … Read more
I always think of August as the HOT month. I was certainly wrong on Sunday. It was a delightfully cool day, even with a brief, light period of “liquid” sunshine. In the cockpit we had a group from Mexico and Peru. Most had never sailed before. I always enjoy explaining to visitors, especially from places … Read more
WOW! What a day we had sailing today. It was like fall sailing. A nice cool breeze blowing at 10-12 knots from the North. The boat was sailing well and the people flocked out to enjoy this wonderful day we were given. The boat was loaded down all day with frequent sailors coming out to … Read more
Today we gave Woodwind a workout. She ran gracefully in the southerly that increased over the day. By the evening we had 19kts of wind, fantastic! After docking, while we were putting the boat to sleep for the night, we witnessed the start of an incredible light show well to the north. This was brought … Read more
