We just returned from a great time on the Schooner Manitou. Our four-day trip was designated an “astronomy cruise.” We looked at planets, stars, constellations and the moon, and also learned about other facets of our universe—all led by an astronomer from a Michigan college. We sailed all four days, with one day having absolutely perfect sailing conditions. We enjoyed each day fully. The crew provided all the meals, created and prepared by the on-board chef. All passengers were invited to participate in setting and taking down sails. Captain Dave has a great crew, each one an expert in sailing and willing to share their knowledge of sailing with everyone. The crew was attentive and seemed to never sleep—and enjoyed getting to know each passenger. The ship is available all summer for two-hour day trips, but I highly recommend any one of the four-day outings. Coming up this fall: a wine tasting cruise and a music cruise (with a folk singer). A wonderful time was had by all!More
