AUGUST 16 – 24, 2021
Welcome to Portland, Maine! Portland is a hub for foodies, techies, artists, seamen (and women) and outdoor adventurers. Discover Portland – its history, culinary scene and the culture of the port over three days. Then, we’re off for a three-day cruise on the Schooner Stephen Taber following Maine’s stunning coastline, inlets and islands. The Stephen Taber is a 150-year old historic Maine Windjammer and is a symbol of America’s proud sailing heritage. Captain Noah will show us the thrill, camaraderie and the scenery of our nation’s finest windjammer cruising grounds.
