SEASON'S END

Hello to all, it's hard to believe that the sailing season is coming to an end and we will soon be placing the winter cover on Angelique and tucking her in for winter. Please excuse my negliance for not keeping up with our blog....... I will try again to post once a week.
This fall has been just beautiful for sailing, mother nature has given us a real mix of weather. We have seen beautiful warm days with gentle breezes to gusty winds for some very exciting sailing.
Sunsets, sea fog, harvest moon and rainbows have added to the majestic beauty of the Maine Coast.

Our 2008 schedule is now on our web site, please call if you have any questions.

July and August Memories

Good Morning,
We are excited to begin this new adventure and are thrilled to be able to share photo's, quotes, poems from guests about their cruise. We will also add interesting facts and news about ANGELIQUE on a weekly basis.
Mike's favorite saying from a guest on a recent 4 day cruise was "It is so great to wake up to the sound of laughter"
Blazing sunsets, rainbows and even the beauty of fog constantly reminds us of the beauty of the Maine Coast!
Fall is gently approaching, cool brisk breezes will soon be with us along with the beautiful splash of color as foliage changes.
Windjammer Festival in Camden will keep us very busy this week end. Open house from 2-4 pm September 1st and 2nd
will allow visitors to tour each vessel and see what we are alll about.

SPECIAL 10% DISCOUNT
Space available September 10-15 and September 17-22. Reserve now and SAVE!

I'll end by sharing Haikus from guests who sailed in July.

Angelique sails on,
To ports in chartless waters....
Destinies unknown......

My Trip; Judy Kerrigan, July 2007 The Sea is Empty; James Richter, July 2007
Didn't hoist the sail... The sea is empty.......
Didn't do the dishes yet... I see no life anywhere....
Maybe tomorrow.... A seal shows its head...

The Slant of The Deck; Tom McElwain, July 2007
The Slant of the deck....
As we sail cross wind-swept sea,
Brings balance, once more.

Thanks for taking a look, have a great day!

New- Notes from a Maine Windjammer

Greetings, friends! We're delighted to begin this new journey with you, as we post highlights, pictures and news from the voyages of the windjammer Angelique. Share the delight of cruising Maine's coastal waters under full sail. Join new shipmates, share the enthusiasm for the lore of Penobscot Bay, the fascinating history and legends of lighthouses, the small villages and rocky islands that dot the bay.

Today we will be found in lovely Swan's Island Harbor, enjoying the Sweet Chariot Music Festival on Swan's Island, Maine! This gem of a festival has some of New England's best folk music and performance - and you must arrive by boat! A fantastic night of music on a beautiful island at the foot of Blue Hill Bay, just a few miles southwest of Mt. Desert.

It's sunny and 76 today with clear skies, we hope to catch the start of the Perseids meteor showers- the peak will be Sunday August 12, but with our dark, clear clear skies we should be able to see the start of the show soon.

Watch (or subscribe to!) this blog for more updates from the Angelique, and warm wishes to all!
