Many people may not know this about Maine but located along the coast of Rockland and Camden harbors are nine historic vessels, the largest fleet of Windjammers that offer all-inclusive, overnight cruises in the world. Each of these captains and their families works hard to preserve Windjammers that are hundreds of years old. Many of these vessels would have been turned into bars or left in a junkyard to rot but this amazing community, the Maine Windjammer Association, is keeping these historic vessels alive and bringing guests onboard to experience not just the history, but also introducing them to real sailing and life on the Maine coast. Kristan speaks with Sam Sikkema, the Captain of the Victory Chimes. He had recently purchased the Victory Chimes from former owner Kipp Files and his ship is the largest one in the fleet and the United States. Kristan has a huge heart for Victory Chimes as it has a history sailing in the Chesapeake Bay, where she grew up sailing. Tune in to hear about Captain Sam's life on the water, how he got up to Maine, how he became captain of the Victory Chimes, and what his craft is all about.
