Friends, we had warm weather, sun and much progress in the last weeks, now on to some raw wet spring days. I thought I might sit and write to you.

We make our way to Portland the first week of June, our decks open to day sails, charter, and wine sails June 9.

A handful of years ago we adopted an online calendar, posting our events just 2 weeks in advance of date. This model has stuck, and for those new to the boat I want to run you thru the paces of reserving a sail on FRANCES.

We host wine sailing events (an informative wine lecture series) on weekends, starting Friday afternoons in June. Without fail, on almost all weekends, we have 6 wine events for you to pick from. All available dates are currently online.

Select Thursdays through summer we host beer + oyster sails with our friend Andy, Feel Good Portland. Dates have been posted, tho tickets have not come available yet.

In house FRANCES outing include day sails, sunset sails, and our acoustic sail series. We will be working to put our music calendar together. Music nights, a handful this summer, will be hosted Wednesday and or Thursday evenings.

Last, but in so many ways the most dear, are our afternoon day sails and the evening sunsets. True to FRANCES these remain peaceful, intimate, and very picnic worthy. I will post available dates 2 weeks in advance and will send out little notes once added to our calendar.

In the mean time we get ready, we uprig, and we catch the cadence of summer with you somewhere peppered inbetween.
