Ahoy Mates, it’s been almost 4 months since I’ve sat down to create a new Facebook post. Sorry about that, but I am a sailor not an writer.
This will probably be long-winded as there’s a lot to get everyone caught up on. First off the marina came back better than ever from the hurricane. Lots of upgrades to the store the Sewalls and the docks but most importantly the Tiki Bar is back in business.
The two new trips that I created, the “Trout Shootout” fishing trip and the “Sailing Sampler” 2 hour trip have been great successes. We’ve done very well fishing for the trout with counts as high as 40 fish on a four hour trip. Of course not all of them are keepers due to the size limitation. Still a blast to catch and can be fished in lots of weather conditions.
The “Sailing Sampler” has worked out perfectly for families with smaller children as well as others who just want to try sailing.
Now that summer is here, we always have the typical thunderstorms that like to pop up. The forecasters have done a pretty good job of keeping me abreast of changing weather conditions. It’s important to be flexible with your booking, to either leave early or late or reschedule as to get the best weather possible for your day on the water. The trip that does require the best weather is the “Dog Island Drop” fishing trip. Unfortunately this one gets canceled the most. But many customers have substituted when the weather didn’t cooperate. I will always keep you informed as your booking date gets close, if I think there’s going to be a chance of a change to your trip time. It’s always best to book early into your vacation so you have a fallback date.
All in all it has started off to be a great season, with some weeks actually having full capacity. The weather has been mostly cooperative with only a few cancellations so far.
Again, I want to thank everybody who has recommended or reviewed Allegro Sailing on Facebook and TripAdvisor. So many kind words!!! I’m not posting any pictures this time because all of my wonderful guest have been doing so themselves.
With Blue Skies and Fair Winds, I look forward to Entertaining lots of new and repeat guest in 2019.
