Every time I travel to a place that has big water, I just love to find me a sailboat that takes people out for a good sailing trip. In Aruba my favorite sail is Mi Dushi, which I’ve done a number of times. This voyage is from Sail Freedom an incredible sail from a sailing family team out of St Augustine Florida. Freedom is an authentic replica of a 19th century blockade runner. She is a 72′, double masted, gaff-rigged, topsail schooner. She was built in Norfolk, VA in 1982 by famed Naval architect Merritt Walters, the first of his many Rover schooners. Enjoy!

Demanda Diamond and I flew down to Tampa to visit some of her family over the Easter break and decided to make the 4 hour drive to St Augustine . I’d never been to St Augustine but knew how historical a city it was, dating back to the 1500’s. It’s a small town and most of the touristy shops close up by 6pm, but there are more than enough pubs and restaurants to keep me happy. We stayed at a quaint hostel type place called Pirate Haus located right in the heart of the old city. The St. Augustine Inlet is a nice protected harbor to moor your boat, and that’s how I hope to arrive next time I return to rape and pillage!
