| Join Captain Bob Burns and the crew of the BAY LADY II for a memorable sail across Provincetown Harbor and
into Cape Cod Bay. Depending on wind direction your 2-hour sail will take you either across the Bay towards the
bluffs of Corn Hill, where the Pilgrims discovered a cache of Indian corn back in 1620, or round Long Point Light
at the tip of the Cape in the direction of Wood End Lighthouse. When the engine is turned off and the 2,230 sq.ft. of sail fill with wind, the BAY LADY II glides quietly across the Bay with the grace and beauty only found on a sailing vessel. Each trip is unique as the varied moods of the wind, sky sea combine to create an ever-changing panorama, accompanied by the sounds of wind in the rigging and the lapping of water against her hull. |
The BAY LADY II, built in 1984 by "Washburn and Doughty" in Woolwich, Maine, is the
largest and safest schooner in the passenger trade plying Cape Cod waters. Her traditional gaff rigg is reminiscent
of the old fishing schooners that sailed the waters of Provincetown during the earlier part of this century. The BAY LADY II is berthed at her own float near the end of MacMillan Pier in the heart of Provincetown and makes several trips daily, including a spectacular sunset sail: Provincetown being one of the few places on the east coast where the sun can be seen setting in the west over a body of water. |
