But if you behave, you may get to crank the ice cream maker. Yum! :) No blender, no contraptions. But if you behave, you may get to crank the ice cream maker. Yum! :)

The Mary day website is one of the best out of all the Maine schooner excursions. It is detailed an the video makes you feel like your there. I look forward to coming aboard for the june lighthouse cruise. ....PS-Do you really have a Blender aboard ???

We want to get away from all the frivolous, unecessary trappings of modern-day life. Otherwise, we'd take a cruise on one of those humungous ocean liners. Yuck! I'm happy with our cabana boy, Neal and his buddies, the Feurks. As for a cabana girl, I have just the one for you. Her name is Anne Wood ;-) Abrazos, Mish Dear Captain, You are right, of course.

Mary Day looks so good and this time of year is never long enough for me to do everything I want. It ain't much but I think you will appreciate the new6 person hot tub in your cabin as well as the cabana boys to tend to your every whim while on deck. We also found a quieter blender for the strawberries daiquiris. So I am just kidding as usual. Getting away from all the trappings of life ashore is what this is all about. Besides... who would ever want to sit on deck with cabana boys misting you and waving palm fronds and peeling grapes for you? Unless his name is Neal of course. Shhhh... don't tell Jen I asked but is there such a thing as a cabana girl? I am not asking for myself, mind you, but I have this friend..... Thanks Michelle!

We frequent sailors are well aware that this is a labor of love, and we are grateful. Sailing with you and your crew on this beautiful ship is an awesome experience. You are the reason why we come back every year and why we dream of sailing on the Mary Day during the rest of the year. Kudos to all of you for your hard work and dedication.
