Sailing the Maine Coast: Aboard the Historic Schooner J & E Riggin with the Boat Captains

In this episode we chat with Jocelyn and Justin, the owners and captains of the historic Schooner J & E Riggin, for an inside look at life and travel aboard a nearly 100-year-old windjammer. We talk about what makes sailing the Maine coast so special, from wind-powered routes and themed sailings to cozy onboard life and fresh, locally sourced meals cooked on a classic wooden stove. We also dive into what guests can expect on a multi-night sailing, including fall foliage cruises, and why this one-of-a-kind adventure is unlike any other way to experience Maine.
