A Wedding on Angelique!


Ruth and Dave asked if they could get married on board Angelique!  They went to the town office Monday before we sailed and got the license. They thought they would like to have the ceremony at the lobster bake. What a setting...what a day! We are all so glad that we were able to join them on this special day. 

Captain Mike has done a number of weddings both aboard and ashore, and it will be tough to beat this one. The Ashley Book of Knots came out, with the wedding vows inserted appropriately on the long splice page. It was a beautiful setting, a moment that will be remembered by all the Angelique ship mates aboard this week.

Fun in the Sun!



It's a gorgeous day for a lobster bake!





And how fortunate to find Sarah's S'more Stand on this island!


A yummy time was had by all. Bet you wish you were here with us!

On the Bay Again


Angelique's shakedown cruise with the boy scouts went well; rainy, windy but it felt good to be out!

The crew is excited to board guests on for a weeks cruise with Roadscholars the week of June 9th. They  are all happy to put the paint brushes away for a while!

We are looking forward to rafting up with the rest of the windjammer fleet for our annual "Windjammer Gam". "Gams" are a maritime tradition... Captains and crews get together to share news, music, and a few laughs! It's a great way to kick off the season.
