We had a great day! It was an impromptu team bonding opportunity, and the weather was perfect to be on the water. The crew was kind and informative, but let us have our own space and conversations, but there when you wanted them. The captain had been sailing this ship for 10 years and was a true pro. Unlike lots of sailboat excursions, the captain cut the motors and ran by sail for almost the entire trip. Loved it!
