I know this is not saving the world or anything, but my wife and I own and run a small Mon & Pop business in Maine that is struggling to survive into our second season. I thought you might be willing to comment on the site?

An incredible site. A friend of mine, here in Washington, just bought a boat to sail up and down the Pacific coast for a year. I'm building a small boat right now. Its somewhere under the snow. Hopefully my wife and I can come to Maine someday and take one of the tours. Maine was one of the places we wanted to live after her residency. The boat I would like to build next is called a "catboat" although I have no idea what that means. :)

3. Nice Site.

The only thing I would change is the script font you use for your menus and such. You might also want to look into search engine marketing. It's not too expensive and the results can give you a nice boost. Also you are a very brave and trusting person. The paranoia of having all those strangers on my boat in the open water would drive me to distraction. I've probably seen too many movies.

6. wow, looks awesome rtassi
If I lived in your neck of the woods, I would support your business. I think your site is very inviting and I wish you all the best hanging in there. Hope you can make it. Sounds like good old eco-tourism to me.
"watch out for seals, porpoise, bald eagles, and the occasional whale" I would so love to be there.

Are there any state or city promotional web sites that you could exchange links with? Your Windjamming mode of travel just sounds like it would be so marketable. That just sounds so unique. What a lovely business idea. That would be such a treat for a family vacation.

Good luck, very lovely pictures in the photo gallery.

8. No political connotations intended!
I'm still having a little trouble technically, because the old site keeps popping up. I'm a bit technically challenged. I'm pretty good with ropes!

10. I've bookmarked your site. Your boat looks fantastic.
I was just kidding on the "right" thing... Maybe should have said starboard?

11. You might be right, er um I mean correct !
The home page that you are seeing however is the old site, so obviously I need to figure out why the new site is not uploaded properly. Thank you for you comments one and all. I think I'll get some sleep now and try it again in the morning.
