What a great start to whale watching season! The Next Level Sailing crew spotted two southbound humpback whales today. They were migrating at a speed of 4 knots. The water was so clear that passengers could watch the whales as they dove under water. Their white flippers (known as pectoral fins) were especially noticeable through the clear blue ocean. We saw that one whale was much smaller, possibly a juvenile. Both whales dove, and we were able to catch the tail end of the dive!

Many Americans didn’t even know there was a hurricane forming in mid November….

Yacht America successfully visited 100+ Yacht Clubs on her journey south from Maine. She encountered some of the nicest people. Troy Sears spoke to at least 100,000 people, sharing his love of the America’s Cup and sailing in general. For many, sailing on the Yacht America built confidence. It also sparked an interest to continue the legacy of technology and sailing and what the America’s Cup is all about.

As the Yacht America started her journey south from Maine, her wanted to visit as many yacht clubs to achieve her mission: get people excited about sailing and educate sailors about the America’s Cup. The Yacht America and her crew were thrilled to get a call from Mary Shields. She asked Captain Troy Sears if he would bring the Yacht America to Plymouth, America’s Hometown. He was very happy to oblige. The event not only promoted sailing, but it was also for a good cause. Part of the proceeds went towards restoring the Mayflower II. We look forward to the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage in 2020.
