FOR SCHEDULING PURPOSES, WE REQUEST YOUR RESPONSE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF RECEIVING AN OFFER FROM US  What To Expect Onboard: Our boat is a Hunter Passage 42. It is 42 feet in length with a center cockpit.  Smoking on the boat is allowed.  Masks may be worn if desired. What to Bring With You: • Sunscreen and a hat• Appropriate clothing • Shoes (Tennis shoes, boat shoes, or similar footwear, Crocs are acceptable). Do NOT wear shoes with BLACK soles. You will NOT be allowed to wear them on the boat. • In the heat of summer, light, loose-fitting is best. • In the chill of spring and fall, wear layers so you can adjust to changing conditions (it feels different out on the water in the wind than it does on your front porch, guaranteed). It's not a bad idea to wear a nylon windbreaker as an outer shell. • If there's a possibility of rain, rain gear, or at least something water repellent, will help you enjoy yourself. Note: except for the absolute worst of weather conditions, expect to go sailing. • Gloves, maybe. If you're an office worker with no calluses on your hands, even cheap, light cotton "working" or "gardening" gloves will protect your hands when hauling halyards or anchor rodes. • Food and Beverages (Bring your lunch! • Bring your lunch! • Alcoholic beverages For sailing course students, during instruction time, NO alcohol is allowed. Afterward, however, with the boat tied up safely in her slip, you may want to "toast your adventures." For chartering guests, if sailing conditions are mild in the opinion of the Captain, a drink or two is okay. For all people aboard our boat, while the boat is at the slip or for those who choose to overnight at anchor, moderate alcohol consumption, at the discretion of the Captain, will be allowed. If the Captain determines that alcoholic consumption has exceeded safe margins, the consumers will be asked to stop. Failure on the part of the consumer to do so will result in an expulsion from charter/courses with no refund of fees. - Drugs (of the recreational variety): uh, no. To be clear, NO. None. Nada. Nyet. Non-prescription drugs might be your idea of fun, and that's your business, but drugs on board will make us lose our license, and that truly IS our business. Bringing non-prescription drugs will result in an expulsion from the charter / course with no refund of fees.

What You Can Expect: Here are the ways you can sail for fun on the Chesapeake Bay with us. For Fun With Friends and Family You'll relax out on the water, out in all the open space, moving along quietly in the breeze with the waves. Whether you want a peaceful get-away or change-of-pace party with your gang, we can provide a great "vehicle" for you. Our usual itinerary is a few hours' sail from near Annapolis out to the famous lighthouses nearby, both of which are on the National Register of Historic Places: • Thomas Point Tour - memorialized on many local pieces of art, everything from paintings and photos to coffee mugs and replica-shaped mailboxes. It used to be at the end of a peninsula (we know an old man who remembers walking out to the light) but that narrow piece of land has eroded away, leaving the lighthouse on an island. Although the water looks pretty much the same, on the west side of the light, the water is mostly about 4 feet deep; on the east side, it's about 40. For a lot of boats and all ships, that's an important difference! Available from May through October, Saturdays and Sundays, 4 hour tour, 12-4. • Bloody Point Bar Tour - near the south end of Kent Island (where the Bay Bridge "lands" in the east), this old lighthouse has saved many vessels from going aground, and you'll see why when you're there (don't worry; you'll be safe! But if you imagine you were there trying to make your way in a storm or in the dark . . .)  Available from May through October, Saturdays and Sundays, 4 hour tour, 12-4. • Combo Lighthouse Tour! (both lighthouses, all day on the water) Once Under the Bridge - if just once you sail under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, then for the rest of your life, every time you drive across the bridge you'll probably say, "Hey, remember that sunny day instead of driving over we went sailing under this bridge?" Available from May through October, Saturdays and Sundays, 6 hour tour, 12-4. • Fall Leaf Watching Tour - we'll have to stay in water deep enough for the boat, of course, but we can do a "slow-motion slide" along the shore and truly enjoy the richness of the view. Unlike when driving in a car in the mountains, from the boat you can smell the leaves, feel the sunshine, hold a glass of wine. Available from May through October, Saturdays and Sundays, 4 hour tour, 12-4. • Overnight - Contact us for more details. • Custom package - maybe a moonlight cruise for just you and your honey? For details . . . Bonus: It is quite likely in the Spring, that you'll see ospreys in flight, or sitting on its nest of sticks atop a navigation marker in the Rhode or West Rivers. It depends on the time of year and whether or not the Osprey is "home" on its nest or not, but we see them all the time. We've passed by close enough to see chicks peering over the top of the nests. Note: The maximum number of guests aboard is six (there's room for more, but our Coast Guard "six-pack" OUVP license says no more than six.) Note: We provide ice and water but due to Food Business Licensing we cannot offer you food and beverages. You can bring whatever you want. By the way, you're welcome to bring and enjoy a few adult beverages, but please, remember that a moving boat is no place to have your coordination severely impaired. (Not only is the whole boat moving, parts of the boat move: there's a reason why the long, heavy horizontal pole on the bottom of the mainsail, about head-high, is called a "boom"!) For Businesses We take business people out for a sail for three main reasons: • To schmooze clients (especially to give memorable entertainment to visitors from out-of-town); • To reward a group of their employees with something they'd probably never initiate separately; • To build teamwork by having them learn to sail a boat together Sailing Instruction You'll be comfortable aboard, as you can see from this diagram of her layout and photos of her interior. You may wonder about learning how to sail on what many people consider a big boat, but there is an advantage to beginning with a (relatively) big boat. Although she will react to your touch on the wheel and sail control lines (called "sheets"), she will have enough momentum to react smoothly. She'll give you a chance to "adjust your adjustments" and absorb knowledge about boat handling. In contrast, when learning on a small dinghy, small adjustments can bring big changes, often too quickly - for beginners - to feel what's going on before the boat tosses them into the water! The overall objective of all our courses is to increase your self-confidence as a sailor. With greater self confidence you can be more relaxed and have more fun enjoying the feel of the wind and the knowledge that YOU are controlling a vessel moving through the water under sail and without mechanical power (at least till you need to dock or tie up to a mooring when you may need that mechanical advantage). Enjoy - go sailing!!

They're like SEAL or SWAT teams on yachts, aren't they? As they try so boldly to harness the big wind with their magic sails they may be grinning like dogs, but they are not messing around! The boat's movements let everyone know immediately how well each crew member is doing individual jobs: it's nearly instant feedback you can feel under your feet. DreamCatcher is not a racing yacht, but that's okay because your office team is not a racing crew. With safer, slower, but similar thrills, DreamCatcher can give your office team practice working together as a crew. And not only will they have fun doing it, they will remember why they were there. • Knowledge of sailing not required • Effective communication is emphasized • Practical demonstrations of Interdependence and Reliance • Two days out on the bay • Course Fee: $500 per person, minimum of 4 people, maximum of 6 • Discounts for groups The student should bring his or her own lunch for the first day.

If during this time, the Captain determines that alcoholic consumption has exceeded safe margins, the consumers will be asked to stop. Failure on the part of the consumer in question, to stop will result in an expulsion from the course with no refund of fees.
