Did you know that Maritime Heritage Charters offers not only public sails on our lovely schooners, but also weekly “Schooner Challenge” sails? These sails are held on Tuesdays 6 PM and are designed to allow the apprentices to take on captain duties with customers and command the schooner during a “race” designed to test their skills. Passengers are part of the learning opportunity for the apprentices and are encouraged to participate fully in order to help train them. We just love going out for these challenges (and there’s a 25% discount for these!).

Last week, we planned to join up along with several others. The skies were a little threatening but the sun came through just about the time we were scheduled to set off. Unfortunately, the fair weather did not last and a bit of a squall rained down upon us. I’ll note we got a little wet but were very well taken care of by the captains and crew. We were with Harold Burnham and he made quick decisions to get us back to port. It was comforting to know we were in good hands even though the threat was mostly rain. We hope to see some of you out on these sails as the summer progresses. Link here for tickets.

“This vessel appears to be a Vandal Marine “pocket explorer” yacht, with models like the Vandal 50 or Vandal 60 featuring similar industrial styling and flybridge configurations.

The boat is powered by multiple high-performance outboard engines, such as Mercury V12 600HP or Racing 450R motors.

It is designed for both speed and luxury, with some models capable of reaching maximum speeds up to 57 MPH and offering accommodations like cabins and heads.

We stopped by The Burn on Main St for Margarita Monday last week. It’s like a fun little secret that Burn is open on Mondays during the afternoon! I keep that little knowledge in my back pocket for those Monday afternoons when we are wondering what to do next! Thanks for Don, our bartender, for the yummy house margarita and the company. Both were refeshing and welcome!
