No better way to keep cool in July than a sail on the Schooner Woodwind

It’s the official first day of summer and things are heating up.  With July coming on keep cool with a sail on the  Schooner Woodwind!  Visitor or local, we can’t recommend the Woodwind highly enough. Even the salty sailor needs to sit back and let someone else man the helm every now and then. And there is not a better way to see Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay than on one of the Woodwinds!

Check out what is in store for July!
