We have been remiss in not posting about “Coffee with the Captain,” the wonderful Facebook video blog hosted by the highly respected schooner skipper Captain Jan Miles of the Pride of Baltimore II.  The series began last April and is wonderfully entertaining as well as informative — discussing schooners, sailing, and the general strangeness of sailing during a pandemic. The most recent episode featured a Zoom chat between Captain Miles, the Pride‘s Chief Mate Jeff Crosby, and Captain Katelinn Shaw of the schooner Adventuress.

In the next episode, streaming live this Saturday, November 21st at 9 AM ET, Captain Miles will be sitting down for some socially distanced coffee with Captain Daniel Moreland of the Picton Castle. The two Captains have known each other for 40+ years, have been shipmates (they sailed together in Ernestina) and have each commanded their own vessels while sailing in company in a fleet of tall ships. Captain Moreland was a captain of the original Pride of Baltimore many years ago. It should make for a fascinating discussion. 

The great news is that if you cannot make the live broadcast, it will be posted on the Pride of Baltimore‘s Facebook video page, along with the twenty-five or so previous episodes, and lots of other videos about the Pride. Also, check out their Youtube Channel.

Episode 25 of “Coffee with the Captain.”
