Windjammer Angelique

A little offshore excursion to look for whales. We got skunked, but what a day of sailing. Bonus points if you can name the lighthouse!

Here is a fun “where are we now”. Two photos should be enough clues for you!

We just finished up back to back trips of yoga and art! Both pair so well with windjamming. Yoga is nourishing. Creating art is nourishing. Windjamming is nourishing.

Update: I do believe this cabin has filled!
Silly question, but does anyone want to get out on the water in August? We have one cabin (double occupancy) available on the 3-night cruise August 17-20, $1,050 per person. Head on over to our website to book it, or call Candace in the office 800-282-9989.

Photo: swim call! Look at all the guests in the water! Do you know what harbor this is?

It’s not often we get to sail as a family, but it certainly makes for great memories when we do.

Happy 4th of July everyone! This holiday marks the official kick off to summer here in Maine. For the windjammers it always starts with . Tomorrow we race. Wish us luck!

Looking ahead to Friday - the forecast calls for sun and highs in the upper 70s. Sounds like a great day for the Great Schooner Race!

Our windjammers are already out on cruises and will be gathering in Rockland on Thursday evening in preparation for Friday.

It's not too late to join the fun! You can take a daysail aboard the Schooner Olad or an overnight trip on Schooner Tyrone to participate. They still have a few spots left! Visit GreatSchoonerRace.com or visit their websites for details.

Sunset with after a perfect day of sailing.

Sailing along with our friends on Summer is here!!

How to improve upon the childhood classic Rice Krispies treats? Add some salt to that sweet by substituting Rice Krispies with Ruffles. Crunchy AND chewy. Salty AND sweet. Amazingly good!

Chef Bradley has a knack for kicking comfort foods up a notch. Go on. Try this at home!

Everyone knows six night sailing adventures are the best! That's why they fill up first, and they did.

However, life happens, and we now have availability on the following 6-night adventures:
July 21-27
September 15-21

Second chance for those wanting more time to enjoy the sailing, see remote areas of Maine, and experience all that windjamming is - not to mention more of the incredible food!

The Yoga & Wellness trip was sold out, but now there is an open cabin. Fancy a long weekend of yoga, good food, relaxation, and sailing? Dates are August 1-5, Thursday through Monday.

Seems like a good time to introduce Pamela and Rose, our two yoga instructors and retreat leaders. Pamela has sailed with us many times, on a yoga cruise even. Pamela's classes are accessible to all levels of student and her teaching style is approachable and conversational. Rose has been teaching alignment based yoga for over 20 years. Currently, she has been designing and leading yoga retreats with an emphasis on universal energy and connecting to the earth.

Just one cabin left! Join Pamela and Rose for some self-care and good times. To book - www.sailangelique.com

Taking the the mystery out of windjamming:

If you've never been windjamming before, the idea of days on a boat with people you don't know may seem like a crazy idea.

The Maine Windjammer Association shares answers to our most commonly expressed questions/concerns about windjamming.

What windjamming veterans know: Sailing combined with Maine hospitality makes for a relaxing, memorable experience!

All of us at the head of the harbor in Camden will be sailing the bay this weekend!

Our girl Erin, baker from last season, has her own bakery in Castine, Maine! So proud! We will definitely be visiting when ANGELIQUE is in Castine this summer for some crème pies.

After 24 days in shipyard, it is good to be home!!

I'm ready, are you?

Angelique - More to Explore Sailing, what to expect on board, and a shore excursion to the quaint town of Stonington

Cover is off 😬. Please Mother Nature, be kind and let us paint 🤞

A little before and after shot of the wheel. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Up to a foot of snow this first week of fit out! This is no April Fools joke. Cover will still be on for it, thankfully. We’ll post some snow photos in a couple days. Maybe a crew snowball fight?

With just two weeks until crew arrive, it's all beginning to happen! In the shop, we are finishing up projects and starting new ones. The ships wheel project is off-camera here but set up to receive a dozen coats of varnish. Blocks are serviced and getting shined up, and OBIE is in position, sanded, and ready for paint.
