It's always nice to find out well after the fact that a wooden sailing vessel you once cruised on may not be as seaworthy as you'd have hoped.
To be fair, though, the folks on the Ernestina are great, and the cruise we took from New Bedford to Boston was great, even if we had to go under engines rather than sail (and I don't think it took 20 people to get the sail up; I may be misremembering, but I'd like to think we were heartier souls). Any trip that lets you say that you skippered a schooner, even for a little while, is worth doing.
