We have the schooner as ready as is possible not knowing when we will be permitted to sail. The cabins are checked over, the main cabin top sports three new coats of varnish. Everything on deck and topsides has been fussed over and the North Haven dinghy "Cappy" has a new sail made by Nat Wilson of oceanus sail cloth. Every century-old small boat should have a new sail once a generation! 

      

     When we get the go ahead from the CDC and the State we'll be sure to let you know. Hope it's soon, as long as it's also safe for everyone.

     So here's the latest revised trip schedule for this season!

and social-distanced grilling.
