35 years ago today Maiden crossed finish line of the Whitbread Round the World Race & sailed into the record books, the first all-female crew to ever sail/race around the world. We were told we would die, we didn't, we won 2 legs & came 2nd overall! #girlpower #XX @maidenfactor

GREAT NEWS! Friday, 10/4, 4:30pm sunset sail on @SloopClearwater is now pay-what-you-can! You must RSVP! If this sells out, the link will no longer be active; but if you're close, it is worth coming & trying to get on via stand-by since there are always no-shows. ⚓️The sail
