Quick announcement, we've got our fall seminar lineup in Annapolis almost complete. The first one's

going to be a two-day offshore sailing seminar the weekend before Annapolis Boat Show, so September 29th

and 30th at our usual place at Chesapeake Sailmakers over in Eastport. So we'd love for you to come out

and join us for that. It's limited to 20 people and is going to be a very hands-on and really fun workshop.

We're going to be climbing around some used boats with Forbes. We're going to be talking sailmaking. We're going to be talking safety equipment, heavy weather sailing, all the fun stuff in a small group, very discussion-based environment.

So check out 59-north.com slash events for all the details and to

while they're hot. Of course, we'd love nothing more if you'd come sailing with us on East Bjorn,

which is going to be newly refit as of April. Can't wait for that. We have one spot left on the first passage

of the year from Sweden to Scotland. Otherwise, you're looking at summer 2019 until the next

available opening. But to see all of our openings and where we're going to sail and keep an

eye out for that 2020 calendar, which is going to be coming soon, go to 59-north.com slash offshore and we'll see on the high seas.
