An all day charter to Pulpit Harbor made our guests very happy despite the fog.

We saw a fogbow tonight at sunset!

07/08/2024

Well, It was a brighter foggy day than yesterday.

07/06/2024

It was one of those Maine days where the fog socked in and wouldn't leave, but it didn't stop the Great Schooner Race. With light wind, Schooner Heron managed to slice through the water and finish the race in 1st place. It is an honor to be invited to race with the Maine Windjammer Fleet. It is impressive to see these historic vessel under full sail, especially when you see them appearing out of the fog. Thank you again . We hope for a schooner sized breeze next summer.
