After a day of sailing on the St Johns River, the ladies of la Plaza cruise back to the dock. Ian, the trusty first mate, teaches Jinous how to handle a 64' ketch.

Kristin wanted to get her Dad Tony out on the water so he could sort of re-live his fond memories of sailing with his family. She and Jan chartered Nepenthe (64' ketch) and sailed her out of Green Cove Springs Fl. The first few hours were windless, but patience prevailed and a nice 12 kt breeze picked up. Kristin and the capt hoisted mainsail and a reacher. Tony took the helm as we reached across the St Johns River, then a few tacks back to the anchorage. Fair winds and following seas Jan, Tony and Kristin.

Sky and her family joined Nepenthe in Green Cove Springs for an afternoon of sailing and Kayaking on the St. Johns River. The vessel anchored so they could swim and play "Tarzan" by swinging on a halyard. They grilled dogs and brats and had a great time.

Jenny recently surprised her beau with a sunrise cruise on Nepenthe. Captain Tom anchored beyond the bridges out of sight and cruised in to pick up the couple in a dinghy. It was not yet daybreak when they boarded at the landing.....Charles looked at the small boat and warily asked, "We're going out in the river in THAT? " But we slipped under the railroad trestle and out to Nepenthe on her mooring. Tada! Surprise complete. After clearing downtown, Jenny and Charles sailed a light breeze out into the wider St Johns River while the sun was rising over historic San Marco.
A light wine, some fruit and cheese....what a perfect morning.
Let's do it again in the Caribbean when you have a week or 3.

You can rent the video "Pirates of the Caribbean", you can go to Universal and ride the ride, but you're NOT really a pirate until you've braved 30 knot winds, 12 foot seas, and laughed at it all. Sam, Kyle, Mariah, Christian, Allison and Cody chartered Nepenthe Sails for a two day at sea adventure from Jax to Fernandina Beach and back. They earned their eye-patches and can say "aaarrrgh" with pride! Let's do it again soon guys. Tom, NepentheCharterSailing
