Does such a thing exist from the area? We're planning on going to the NY Giants/Saints game in Oct and thought it would be cool to catch a boat ride. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Chris

That would be a fun trip and definitely better than the drive.

My brother lives in Fairhope and sails a beautiful boat...I'll see whether I can get him inspired. He used to do the Champayne cruises from the Grande

That is so cool....how big is his boat? I used to own a home near the Yacht Club in Montrose. Which is about a block from living in Fairhope.

boat

I must explain that I am not a sailer and never go sailing. Balance problems make it extremely difficult to board a boat. I will ask my brother, aka Captain Jim when I next speak with him,. The moonlight champayne sails always sounded wonderful to me but I would end up having to spend the night aboard after we docked. My brother is the original "old salt sailor" He does not relate to the rules the rest of the world lives by but he is a whole hell of a lot of fun...You might know my brother, Jim Jenkins...he's a hoot and a holler...He usuallly only passes Grayton on his way to the Keys....
