Sail Door County Adds "New" Schooner!

Sail Door County's Fleet Grows!

We met with Captain Peder Nelson and Kim, his marketing manager, and we toured the latest addition to the Sail Door County fleet: an all wooden, 63 foot schooner (double-masted) built in 1984.  This boat has sailed around the world twice,  and Captain Peder just returned from purchasing it in Massachusetts, bringing it back to Door County through the Cape Cod canal, and eventually across the Great Lakes!

What a gorgeous boat.  He will spend part of the fall and winter redoing the decks and wood, and making this boat the pride of the fleet, and the pride of commercial sailing in Door County!  We were impressed with this addition.  Peder will name this one after his grandmother, who grew up in Sister Bay not far from the marina.

You want an owner with sailing experience?  Sail Door County is for you - Peder also sailed his previous purchase back from Trinidad!

We love Sail Door County, and you will too!  Congratulations to Peder and the rest of the crew!

Live at The Cookery's Wine Bar - July 11th!

We just received this press release from one of our favorite restaurants and wine bars in Door County, The Cookery in Fish Creek!  Great music, great event, super venue!  If you go, please tell them that DoorCountyNavigator.com sent you!

Damsel Fly Playing at The Cookery

(July 1, 2011 – Fish Creek) - Damsel Fly will be playing in The Cookery’s wine bar on Monday, July 11 at 8 p.m. Damsel Fly is an amazingly talented, all-female, teenage folk quartet from Decorah, IA.

The group’s lethal combo of youth & sheer talent is less perplexing when one considers that they are the daughters of a few of Decorah’s progressive and musically-oriented families. The band consists of Kasi Misseldine on mandolin, Rose Reed-Maxfield on cello and bass, Ingrid Rotto on guitar, and Ida Rotto on banjo. The girls performed their first concert when they were ten years old.

Damsel Fly largely performs music written by others, their selections always in good taste and their arrangements are incredibly unique. Many of their covers are of traditional folk songs or familiar classics from acts like the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Wailin’ Jennies, and James Taylor.

The Cookery’s wine bar is open daily until midnight and is located at 4135 Highway 42, Fish Creek.
