	PRIVATE SAILING CRUISES
		For just you and your group. Up to 8 people on a 30 foot sailboat. SUNSET SAILS Feel the stress drain away with the gentle rocking of the boat and the "sploosh" of the waves against the side. Smell the fresh moist breeze. Listen to the peaceful sounds of nature. Then rela-a-ax ... as Captain Sam brings the boat "about" into the beautiful Texas sunset. Is your anniversary coming up soon? What a perfect way to celebrate - with an intimate sail into the sunset! DAY CRUISES (512-250-1344 home) Sail in the shade of the cockpit canopy or "catch some rays" on the deck. See the ducks, sea gulls, turtles, and sometimes an egret or heron. Sit back and rela-a-ax... or take the helm for awhile. Bring your camera, snacks and drinks! Bring your family!

	PRIVATE SAILING LESSONS

INFORMAL SAILING LESSONS Your U.S. Coast Guard licensed Master, Captain Sam, can give you sailing & safety instruction and techniques. An informal lesson can be combined with a charter. One or two people may want to learn about sailing while their friends may want to kick back and relax.
