Lovely experience, especially for one (me!) who loves sailboats. This beauty (Appledore II) was built in Maine by a craftsman/sailor. She sailed straight and true, without anyone at the helm! Plenty of room on board, powerful drinks mixed right on board. Lots of good explanations from our Captain about how the sails work to drive the boat forward. The crew did everyhting they could to make our voyage enjoyable. Several children on board, they loved it. One girl, aged about 11, when she was steering Appledore back to harbor, was asked by our Captain ‘what would you like to do now” she replied ‘turn around and sail forever’. That pretty much sums it up. We waited until there was a forecast for sun and partial cloud, and we were rewarded with a magnificent sunset. A great adventure, highly recommended.
