Members Who Went Said:
This was such a fabulous experience! I'm a local of NYC and I *love* to be on the water, so when I saw that there was an opportunity to participate in a regatta race I was thrilled! Captain Peter, Tom, and the rest of the crew were *so* good to us. The weather was perfect, the included lunch was delicious, and it was wonderful to be sailing with a glass of champagne (or three!) on my birthday! I couldn't have asked for a better time. I'll definitely bring my out of town friends on the 'regular' sail, and I'm tempted to just go myself whenever the mood strikes!
Joann Cullinane Vagabond Chef! What an incredible experience - being part of a regatta!! Something we usually only get to see on television. We purchased the tickets thinking we'd be spectators and never dreamed we would be in the race. It was exhilirating! The captain and crew were gracious and accomodating and even found time to serve drinks and lunch while they were sailing the schooner. I can't say enough good things about this experience.
Joseph Rabbai Solo Clarinet Wonderful Event, Great Capt. and crew. Wonderful ship. Great Day
