UPDATE: The schooner trip got cancelled after all. I did learn the name of the vessel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Gamage_(schooner) Apparently, the drive shaft and engine went kaput. Ironic that engine failures scratch a sailing ship! (I know, an engine is necessary for getting into and out of port.) Glad I didn't take another week off from work. Because, if I did, I'd have to just spend another week on vacation!
