    Thank you Sunset Salem...we were doing a witch tour that took longer than anticipated and unfortunately missed our boat. We thought money lost and were very sad as we headed out of town. But then we got a call to rebook. And we did so much to our delight. The crew was great. The sail was perfect. The bloody marys exceptional. I'll be adding old bay to the rim of my bloodies from now on. Thank you again.
