Sailing the Magical Maine Coast Aboard the Schooner J. & E. Riggin

Stepping aboard a Windjammer is a magical Maine experience like none other. In this season one segment from “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 104), we’re in Rockland, Maine, onboard the two-mast Schooner J. & E. Riggin. Captain John Fingers and his wife, accomplished chef and co-captain Amy Mahle, show us the ropes, and Amy helps Annie create a delicious meal in the ship’s cozy kitchen. Above deck, Richard learns more about the uniqueness of the J. & E. Riggin and its rich history. It’s an irresistible combination of delicious food and maritime tradition enhanced by the gorgeous backdrop of the Maine coastline.
