Christine Wallace, 1st Mate and Sail Master of the Zodiac, is welcomed to Fairhaven by Stephanie Johnson, President of the Old Fairhaven Association.  The 127 foot long schooner Zodiac has sailed summers out of Fairhaven for several years but she has now relocated from Seattle to Fairhaven permanently year around.  We in Fairhaven are delighted and look forward to making Zodiac, her captain Tim Mehrer and her crew part of our Fairhaven community.

Many fun day sails are planned as well as overnight voyages.  How about this - a “Mother’s Day Brunch Sail” for $75 each.  Depart at 10:30 am and return at 2 m on Sunday, May 9.  Enjoy a champagne brunch under sail and a truly unique way to tell her she is special.  Space is limited, so phone Chris now to reserve - at 206 719-7622.  You can visit their website at http://www.schoonerzodiac.com. 

Who is that back standing on the gaff?  Juliet, Chris’s daughter.  Juliet is a deck hand and quite at home on the Zodiac.  That is the main sail covered under the green canvas and it is the largest sail of any sailing ship on the West Coast of the United States at about 4,000 square feet.  Yes, it is a thrill to stand on deck under her when the ship has a breeze. Yes it is.
