Your Best Day Sail

[Jo Ann - VA]

We will be on island in May with three newbies. They want to go out sailing one day. We went with White Wing (Captain Clark) two years ago and he was great. He wasn't sailing last year (busy building a house in Coral Bay - lucky guy!). I haven't called him yet to see if he is available in May but, if he isn't do you have any suggestions for another boat?

Thanks for your help!

RIck and Robin Gallup -=the Long Distance book either at crabby or at connections--you will feel like you are sailing with old friends

We sailed on Breath with Jared. We didn't do a day sail, just a sunset sail, because I am not really for more than a couple of hours on a boat. However, Jared and Drew are a great team, and the boat is beautiful. Very reasonably priced as well.

I recommend reading the book about the boat. I can't think of what the name is, but it was written by Peter Muillenberg, who built Breath with his own hands and was still piloting the boat until he got sick a few years ago.

I have friends Tom and Melody that just started their sailing business

Thanks. Why can I not ever remember the name of that book?

Loria, did you do the sail on this trip with Rick Gallop? I was leaning strongly toward doing it since it was on the Coral side (where we were staying) but we liked Lion in Da Sun so much last year that we decided to rebook with them.

My trip review for day 2 should be coming soon--my pictures are loading now. Slowly though.

Sailing - Wayward Sailor
Powerboat - Capt John of Palm Tree Charters

We prefer power boat - get to do a lot more in a day!

Breath sails out of Coral Bay as well and has a website www.sailbreath.com. The boat is truly unique. The biggest boat built in St John. It is a classic with loads of character and stories. The boat has sailed across the atlantic 4 times as far as Turkey, 250 miles up the Gambia river in West Africa...

You guys are great!

I am going to compose a list and give it to the 3 newbies that will be with us to choose from.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks!

I would call Clark first. I loved our day with him. Really in the top 10 days of my life, it was that much fun. Perhaps it was the company and the perfect weather but his turkey sandwich was the best sandwich I have ever had.
For a powerboat trip, you can not beat Capt John. Our day with him was perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We love Captain Phil Chalker and Tarn on the Wayward Sailor. Really great with snorkeling newbies, but always fascinating to chat with them.
