    We set sail on Friday evening, July 3, and it couldn't have been a more perfect night for a sunset cruise. Captain Jaywell and First Mate Jay took great care of us from start to finish. Captain Jaywell's communication was excellent from the moment I first sent an inquiry, throughout the booking process, and even after we got off the boat. They met us at the marina, walked us to the sailboat, and we set sail promptly at 6:30 p.m. During the cruise, they explained what they were doing, shared the history of the boat, told great stories, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing.The marina was easy to find, and the entire evening exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend sailing with Captain Jaywell! They told us that moonlight sails are amazing - we will be back for sure. Thank you Wind Song Sailing Adventures!!
