Summer is finally here
About time, summer has finally arrived, I have been working on the boats the past couple of weeks. I have even painted the bottom of at least the Bella Donna so far, I may or may not paint the bottom of the Sarah Maria. There is not much that I hate more than painting the bottom of a boat. The good news is that the Bella Donna will be in the water next week and when the tide lines up with good weather we will start sailing.
Win a Half Day Family sailing trip on the Bella Donna. I have ordered more of my now famous Captain Ed's coffee mugs, 70 of them if you would like to know. I love these cups, they are like the old dinner cups with that curve at the lip. Ever wonder why diner coffee taste so good? It is the shape of the lip. So you might be thinking to yourself how can I go about owning one of these priceless mugs, they look awfully expensive. Well, they are not for sail. You have to earn one, by participating in a man over board drill on the Bella Donna. Lets not call it a man over board drill because some of you will assume that there will be swimming involved. We call it picking up a mooring ball while under sail. This is fun activity that we do on the second or third sailing class depending on how well we progress.
It is a great way to refine our boat handling skills. Each cup will be numbered and I will take the name of those who earn a cup. We will have a drawing the first week of August, and the winner will get a day of sailing with their family, where they can demonstrate their new sailing skills.
I want to again thank everyone for their support of Captain Ed's Sailing if it is even just through reading my news letters.
Thanks Captain Ed's Sailing
Captain Ed's Sailing gets more popular each year, however there are always great weekends as well as weekdays available.
At the end of the day you walk away from the boat and leave the cost of owning and maintaining the boat up to me.
If you like what you see feel free to forward it to friends and family no matter where, as my clients come from around the country, as well as from around the world.

Things to do after sailing with
Captain Ed's Sailing
|
A day sailing on the Bella Donna will take up to 6 hours of your time, at the end of the day, if you still have some energy, there is still plenty of other things to do around Newburyport.
There are plenty of restaurants around town, such as the Grog, Michaels, The Black Cow, and Loretta's, restaurants. A great place to grab a Sandwich before a sailing trip is at the Warren street market.
Out towards Plum Island you will find Bob's Lobster.
If you are looking for a place to stay while in the area my client's have stayed at the Essex Street Inn, The Blue out on Plum Island, as well as The Garrison Inn , and the The Compass Rose Inn.
We live in a great area to try out some salt water fishing as well. For short days I like Channel Edge Charters, or Flounder Fishing, from the Captains Lady . For Longer excursions check out The Clipper Fleet in Salisbury or again the Captains Lady out on Plum Island.
