8. What takes place on a daytour?
Our daytours take place over a period of two hours. The first half hour of boarding can be used to venture throughout the Kajama, order a drink from our fully licensed bar or order lunch or a snack from our galley menu. Over the next hour and a half, Kajama will depart and will head for either the eastern or western gap out onto Lake Ontario. During this time sails will be raised by our crew and volunteers such as yourself. You are welcome to spend the sail relaxing with a cold drink or exploring the ship, listening to the crew singing sea shanties, helping raising and lowering the sails or talking with our experienced crew.
Only in the Caribbean has this experience been duplicated. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the firing of the cannon at any foreign ships that may try to sneak upon us! Before you disembark make sure to visit our gift shop at the bar for souvenirs of the Kajama.
