I promised that I would send out some information about Get Hooked at Sea, this fabulous opportunity to sail with us on an historic schooner , the J&E Riggin, out of Rockland ,Maine.
Do you need to escape the news of the day- feel the ocean breeze on your face? take in the beauty that the coast of Maine has in all of its glory? Penobscot Bay is a great place to do just that.
What is even more enticing is to spend that time with like minded people- rug hookers!
We learn, eat, sleep and bask in the beauty that only the sea can bring. There is a calm that washes over you as you sail around the islands in the Bay.
The food? Oh the food! It is all prepared in the galley on a wood cookstove- things that you wonder- how did she do that?? The breads, the soups, the seafood, the treats- I could go on and on. You never find yourself hungry and are always thrilled to hear the bell ring as Jocelyn comes up on deck and tells us all about the local food that she has prepared for us all. Do you have food allergies? GF? things you just don't like? no problem there- Joceyln is so accomodating to everyones tastes and needs. It is like having your own personal chef.
No thoughts about what you have to prepare next for the upcoming meal- she does it all and then some.
The hooking...we supply everything you need except for your favorite hook and small scissors. All of our teachers have gone above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your project(s). The time and care they take is really phenomenal.
This September we will have Haley Perry join us again. Haley was on one of our earlier trips and everyone learned so much from her. We know that she has some great ideas for this trip too.
The experience- well, we can safely say that it is one you won't soon forget. In fact , we have several people who have sailed with us before and come back again and again because it is such fun.
Do you need to have sailing experience? Not at all, BUT you can help raise the sails and do some of the work that it takes to sail this historic windjammer. Would you prefer to watch and take photos? then go ahead- it's fine, but we think you might decide to step in at least once to see what all of the laughter is about.
Please join us this September, 20-24, 2026. We can offer you a payment plan if you'd like.
We have room for 16 sailors/guests. We still have some openings but don't wait too long because it tends to fill up fairly quickly.
Visit 207Creatives.com. for more iinformation.
You will find the nitty gritty details about the boat, the crew, us ( the hosts) , packing, directions and finances.
We can't wait to have you join us!
