I’ve had some pretty tough jobs in my life, and some people might consider sailing to be all “feet up, and wind in the hair“ with little to no work needed. I’m here to say that I can guarantee that those people were not sailors.
You see, the beauty of sailing is the process. The process of putting in loads of physical and mental labor, and then to finally experience the sweet reward of being underway, full sail, with the perfect breeze at sunset. This is what I live for!
I have a couple of friends (who are also sailors) that have recently become new mothers. They’ve shared with me the beauty in the process of motherhood, and how similar it can be related to sailing. There is much tending, attention to small details, multi-tasking, and mental and physical work required in parenting that oftentimes goes unnoticed by others. Raising these small humans and seeing them sail through life is a reward like no other.

You can also join us for our first special event of the season, our oyster and rosé sunset sail, at 6:00 PM.
If you know a mom or you are a mom, go ahead and feel spoiled in every way by taking the most unique sailboat cruise Portland Maine has to offer with Sail Portland Maine. Remember, you can bring food and beverages aboard all our trips, including beer and wine.
Nothing says I love you like sailing along the Maine coastline, while enjoying some of your favorite local take out goodies while sharing your favorite beverage!
We can’t wait to welcome you aboard, and Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there! Remember to treat yourself often, whether it’s sailing with us, taking time for yoga, good food, friends, or maybe even seeing a local show – the world is your oyster!
