Captains Log
February 25, 2010
Awesome! What more can be said about sailing here in Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach. Since my transition
December 1st 2009 to owner/operator of Magic Wind Adventure Sailing, I have enjoyed every minute of it! I come
home everyday with a smile on my face and a new appreciation for everything sailing. Thank you to everyone who
has sailed with me for making my dream come true.
Since December of 2009 when I took over, I've already logged over 700 miles on Star of Orion via my half-day,
sunset, and overnight charters. I recently just completed a 2 day Marco Island charter that I wrote about on my Blog
page. What a sail that was! Adventure was defined on that cruise.
My half-day and sunset cruises are doing very well. As we all know, the weather here in southwest Florida these
last few months has not been cooperating and has been downright cold. Locals who have lived here for decades
tell us that this is the worst its been in over 20 years! Even though I vowed to never wear pants again and only put
socks on if I'm cold, I have to admit...the pants came on and stayed on! Brrrr. But once again, I have to thank my
great customers who braved the elements in order to enjoy sailing with me. Thank you.
As for Star of Orion, she is still in top form. I've completed upgrades, fixed some small issues, and I've been
maintaining her perfectly. I continue to pride myself in keeping her the cleanest, most comfortable, and affordable
sailboat charter here in Southwest Florida. She really is the best choice for chartering. Her simplicity in sailing
along with great features like shaded seating in the cockpit and stern rail seats continue to impress clients. Lets
not forget about the great Captain also!
My bookings for March are filling up fast along with April. We still offer all the same great choices when considering
your sailing adventure. Half-day (4 hour) and Sunset (2.5 hour) are still my favorite. Overnight charters are also
filling fast. We now offer private Full Day cruises for a special price. Why a special price? I like to sail with people
and spread my love of sailing. I don't always need to look at my bottom line when it comes to sailing with great
people and sharing my passion. Private Full Day charters allow many options such as lunch/dinner ashore,
swimming, and exploring with the dingy. I'm here for you.
We look forward to sailing with you and ask you to share your adventure with us. Lets catch the wind, slice the
water, chase dolphins, and make some amazing memories together. There is no better feeling than sailing a
beautiful boat on tropical waters. So give us a call, book a sail, pack your bags, and Lets Go Sailing!!!!!
See you at the dock,
