146.0. "Windjammer Cruises out of ME, CT?" by BOOKIE::FARINA () Mon Aug 07 1989 12:29

    I'd like some information on Windjammer cruises out of Maine or
    Connecticut.  I didn't find much of anything in here.  I have the 
    Camden, Maine, Chamber of Commerce phone number, but that won't give 
    me all the information I want.
    
    Are they fun?  I know you can go for up to seven days.  Is that
    too long for a first timer?  How much work are they (just want to
    be prepared ;-))?  Are they all "pitch-in" cruises?  What extra
    expenses might I encounter?  Can *anyone* offer recommendations?
    
    I plan to go on vacation at the end of August/beginning of September.
    I am not going with a group, so I also need to know if this is
    primarily a "couples" type of deal or if it's a good place to make
    new friends.
    
    I'd appreciate any advice!

    I am considering taking a Windjammer cruise during the coming summer
    and have many of the same questions.  I have gotten brochures from
    the Windjammer association.
    
    Has anyone answers or additional information?
    
    Thanks.
    

    I ended up putting the base note in the MAINE notes file, too.  I got a
    lot more information there.  My trip report of my cruise on the Roseway
    is there, too!
    
    In short, I loved it!  It is different, and there are some things that
    might not appeal to everyone.  Send me mail if you want more
    information.

    Thanks.... will do.
    
    After writing this note, I found the Maine notes file (DNEAST::MAINE)
    and the note 323 discussion on Windjammers.
