"What a mind blowing trip! Words fall short...I've come home changed in some unnamable way." - Brendan, Philadelphia

2018 gave us more incredible sails embarking from Westport, MA and Old Lyme, CT (both accessible without a car). Participants sail and camp in boats with just one or two others, making this a great activity to share. Season trip and tidal calendar below.

An inkling of 2019 can be gleaned by looking at which lunar phases coincided in 2018 with ideal start days for favorable currents. Get in touch for alternate locations, private groups, and half-day lessons year-round.
