Toni (Hoot), Scott (Scoot) and Alan (Mouse) arrived early this spring to get a jump start on outfitting. As usual spring is a flurry of activity and with the winter [...]
A Mindful Vacation = A Maine Windjammer Cruise
May 26, 2011 – 5:12 pm

Last year, it was suggested to the captains that we host a Riggin Relic* trip. We think this sounds like fun, so here’s the deal – we have scheduled a 10 day trip - June 21st 30th 2012.
