Angelique can accommodate 29 guests, but in 2021, Windjammer Angelique will be limiting the capacity to allow for more distancing. All available cabins are double occupancy. Most have upper and lower bunk beds, and a few have double beds. For 2021, solo travelers, not traveling with a friend or family, will be in private cabins. In addition to the bed(s), each cabin has a private sink, mirror, cabin light, reading lights, standing headroom, and daylight entry.
There are sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels provided. The bathrooms or "heads" as they are called on a boat are shared and also located below decks. They have three "heads" with three hot water showers. Heads will be cleaned and disinfected 3 times a day. There is one hot water deck shower, too, for rinsing off after a swim in the ocean or rinsing sand from feet after being ashore.
Program
Board the boat anytime after 5 p.m. on the first date of the cruise. You will leave from Camden Harbor the next morning and return to Camden by mid-late morning on the last day of the cruise. The hosts will drop anchor in a new and beautiful harbor or cove every night and sail during the day. Because the retreat will take place on a sailboat, where you go is dependent on the wind, weather, and tides. There will be shore excursions everyday for a chance to walk and see a fishing village or small town.
Coffee will be available by 6:30 a.m. and breakfast is at 8 a.m. Lunch is served underway at noon. Appetizers are served at cocktail hour followed by dinner at 6 p.m. All meals are served family style.
One evening, you will anchor off a deserted island for a traditional lobster bake! There will be daily yoga sessions on the boat or on shore and wellness workshops offered at different times during the day. A daily itinerary will be presented each morning of the cruise with plenty of free time to enjoy the sailing and scenery.
Instructors
Brenda Cyr
Brenda uses a holistic approach to blend yamuna body rolling, yoga and physical therapy. Brenda has been a licensed physical therapist for 24 years. After practicing yoga for many years she completed her yoga teacher training in 2010, and in 2012 she completed her Yamuna body rolling level 2 certification. She has found that by having a regular practice combining these disciplines, many injuries can be prevented or managed independently. Her goal in opening the studio was to give others the opportunity to maintain balance and health in their bodies.
