Captain Ed's Sailing

Ed Ferris on his sailboat Mud Slide

Greetings!
The Bella Donna , and the Sarah Maria are now both sitting on their moorings ready to sail this summer. Sailing lessons and charters will be held on the Bella Donna, and special charters, and navigation lessons will be held on the Sarah Maria for those who have proven competent on the Bella Donna.
This past weekend I helped Ed Ferris bring his 25 ft Catolina sailboat from Newburyport to Ipswich MA. It rained most of the time, with little wind , but that boat is also now sitting comfortably on her mooring in Ipswich Bay. Ed Ferris is becoming a pretty competent sailor as he learns to sail Mudslide single handedly.
This coming weekend we will have a basic sailing class from 8 AM until 2 PM on Saturday, this class will explore the operation of a cruising sail boat while both under power and sail.
As soon as the weather lifts we will also try to have a casual sail this week, as well as a family sail on Sunday for those who may wish to spend fathers day sailing as a family.

Other things
Greetings!
Sailing is not for everyone, so I try to list other things that you would like to try while in the Newburyport area. This past week I met William Barrett the new owner of The EZ Pedaler located at 40R Merrimac St Newburyport MA. between Davis electric and the Newburyport chamber of commerce. He is selling as well as renting motorized bicycles. Check him out as this is something that I may want to try before the summer is over. Also don't forget Captains Fishing Parties out at the end of Plumb Island . I like the flounder fishing trips as I don't often have the time or desire to be out fishing for a full day, I also like coming home with fish.
Also look for more details coming as to chartering the Ker Mor out of Port Royal Sound this fall.
