Only 11 Shopping days until Christmas and if you are like me watching reruns of Family Guy is a lot more fun than Christmas shopping, so you probably have not started yet. All of us here at Captain Ed's Sailing are busy printing out gift certificates for sailing classes, and charters, but in this newsletter I would like to highlight my favorite offering, and that is The Hands On Family Sailing Adventure. During this charter I pick up you and your family at CashMan Park in Newburyport, Ma. We go out to the Bella Donna by dingy where I give an overview of the boat, the safety equipment, and the head (bathroom).
The Gillis bridge opens on the half hour so while we wait for the bridge to open I take the Bella Donna off of the mooring and as the bridge opens I take her under. During low tides we just sort of sneak under without an opening. Either case going under the Gillis Bridge whether open or close is very exciting. Once under the bridge I hand the helm off to one of your family who then with my guidance takes the Bella Donna down the river and out to the ocean. It can get hairy at times on the Merrimack River so I am right beside you to take over if we get a little nervous.
Once on the ocean we now raise the sails, and under my guidance you take turns sailing the Bella Donna as a family, while you learn how to steer and do the maneuvers that are required to operate a sail boat. At the end of the day if the wind is favorable I take the helm and using your family as crew I sail the Bella Donna up the Merrimack River and back to its mooring. Bring some food or snacks and drinks, plan to work and come home tired. It is a lot harder than spending time with your family at the mall but I think you will find it much more rewarding.
