2024 Sailing Season is coming! See you April 13, 2024!
Captain Jen and I love food. Jen is, admittedly, an avid foodie. So when I saw the Everything Local Cruise, I had to plead my case to be captain. She came up with the perfect solution. I would captain and she would be the hostess, even though officially she was “off”. The idea worked perfectly. … Read more
We had great sailing conditions all day. The weather forecasting a chance of rain and light winds. We had no rain and the winds were in the 5 to 8 knot range most of the day. With the temperature topped out at 84 degrees it was a delightful day of sailing. And the people agreed. … Read more
Our first sail was a private charter for a pretty full boat. The partners of the company were taking out their summer interns to say thank you.

What a terrific day! I love the wine tastings we do on the Schooner Woodwind! French Wines were the theme today, each “Wine in the Wind” has a different theme. Franck Agostino was the host today. And he knows wine. His job is the coolest job, I might add. He is from France and he … Read more
It was a rainy Saturday. Everyone is calling, “are you still going sailing, even in the rain”? Yes, we sail rain or shine. Ponchos were handed out to everyone and the rustle of poncho plastic made each sail unique. We had wind, a nice breeze from the NE that had us doing about 8-9 knots. … Read more
We always get the most wonderful people that sail on the Woodwinds! On our 11:00 sail, we only had 7 guests aboard. But they felt like friends immediately. Dave was celebrating his birthday with his grandparents (almost 21st birthday) and he had a blast learning all about sailing. He was hooked into the love and … Read more
