Testimonials

Alison & Michael from New Orleans

We took a chance on something new in NOLA, and it was well worth the gamble. Such a beautiful, peaceful evening – and we were treated like royalty! It was just what we needed to de-stress and re-focus on us.

Wendy & John from Chicago

An invigorating detour from the well-trodden tourist paths of New Orleans.

Keith from New York City

If we could give them more stars, we would. Every aspect of the sail was top notch. Service was awesome, Captain Doug and Rena are great hosts and cruising the lake is a beautiful way to see New Orleans. Just a fantastic experience.

Sintes Boat Works: Life and Business on the Banks of Lake Pontchartrain

In 1952, Lawrence Sintes Sr. opened Sintes Boat Works on the edge of Orleans Marina in Lake Pontchartrain with his oldest son, Lawrence Sintes Jr. The Sintes family’s move to the area, known as the West End neighborhood, coincided with a re-emergence of resorts, restaurants, and amusement rides on the lakefront that drew more tourists and locals to Lake Pontchartrain’s coastal neighborhoods.

The completion of the 1926 Lakefront Land Reclamation Project expanded the amount of habitable West End property and led to an increase in the neighborhood’s population. It was on this reclaimed land that the Sintes family laid the foundations for their home and business. When Sintes Boat Works first opened, Lawrence Sintes Jr. and his father constructed wooden boats, but they soon transitioned to repairing boats harbored in Lake Pontchartrain.

Living and working in the West End for four generations, the Sintes family has experienced significant changes to their neighborhood, from natural disasters displacing community members, to the slow loss of uninhabited land to condominiums. In order to ensure the business’s ongoing success, Lawrence Sintes Jr. and his younger brother, David “Dave” Sintes, embraced modern boat construction technologies. Dave Sintes Jr. introduced modern computer technology to enable the business to construct better boats at a faster pace, while Lawrence Sintes Jr. continued to do what the Sinteses are known for- providing reliable and expert repairs. In 1981, Lawrence Sintes Jr.’s son, Steve Sintes Sr., was the third generation to join the family boatyard, ensuring that Sintes Boat Works would continue well into the future.

Boatbuilding is a Sintes family tradition that has gone on longer than anyone in the family can remember. They are masters of their craft. The Sintes family has left their mark on every boat they have built and repaired. Through their business, the Sintes family has helped the West End’s maritime lake community thrive.

Original Yacht Club

1635 Lakeshore Drive. Mandeville Yacht Club, 1893-1903. Bernard de Marigny, heavily in debt, surrendered a large section of his new real estate venture, Mandeville, to Citizens Bank. An 1849 auction of these properties was held in New Orleans. Athalie Drouillard, a wealthy free woman of color (designated as fwc in English documents or fcl in French ones, this was an important legal definition providing for the right to buy and own property during slavery), purchased some or all of 30 squares. Three days later she sold square 5 to Victor Feste, a New Orleanian and dry goods purveyor who, during the same year, built this unique structure.

With its imposing gable front, wrap-around gallery and unusual street-side proportions, this seems a peculiar house indeed. However, when viewed from the side, the gable roof supported above a gallery stretching across a range of rooms, assumes a familiar look and its Creole roots are evident.

In 1893 the Mandeville Yacht Club took possession of the property. With a reported 200 members, regattas were regularly conducted on Lake Pontchartrain. There was an earlier yacht club in Mandeville. The first regatta was reportedly held on July 27, 1888 with boats named Pansy, Imelda, Edna, Virgie, Nellie J and Aida. By 1903, the Yacht Club located here was facing foreclosure and closed its doors.

Choghadiya for Sunnyvale, California, United States

Subha choghadiya.

March 20, 2024, Wednesday

Notes: All timings are represented in 12-hour notation in local time of Sunnyvale, United States with DST adjustment (if applicable). Hours which are past midnight are suffixed with next day date. In Panchang day starts and ends with sunrise.

About Choghadiya Table

Choghadiya or Chogadia is used for checking auspicious time to start new work. Traditionally Choghadiya is used for travel muhurthas but due to its simplicity, it is used for any muhurtha.

There are four good Choghadiya, Amrit , Shubh , Labh and Char , to start an auspicious work. Three bad Choghadiya, Rog , Kaal and Udveg , should be avoided.

The time between sunrise and sunset is called day Choghadiya and the time between sunset and next day sunrise is called night Choghadiya.

About Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela and Kaal Ratri

It is believed that no auspicious work should be done during Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela and Kaal Ratri. Vaar Vela and Kaal Vela prevail during daytime while Kaal Ratri prevails during night time. It is believed that all Manglik works done during these timings are not fruitful.

Why Choghadiya Name?

In Hindu division of the day, the time between Sunrise to Sunset is divided into 30 Ghati. For Choghadiya Muhurta, the same time duration is divided into 8 parts, which results in 8 Choghadiya Muhurta during the daytime as well as during the night time. As each Choghadiya Muhurta approximates to 4 Ghati, it is known as Choghadiya i.e. Choghadiya = Cho (four) + Ghadiya (Ghati). Choghadiya Muhurta is also known as Chaturshtika Muhurta .

What if auspicious Choghadiya overlaps with Rahu Kala?

It is quite possible that auspicious Choghadiya might overlap with Rahu Kala . Rahu Kala is considered highly malefic. In south India, it is given utmost importance while selecting any Muhurta. Although many authoritative works on Muhurta don't have reference to Rahu Kala, it is always better to abandon that auspicious Choghadiya Muhurta which overlaps with Rahu Kala.

What if auspicious Choghadiya overlaps with Vara, Kala and Ratri Vela?

It is quite possible that auspicious Choghadiya might overlaps with Vara Vela, Kala Vela and Kala Ratri. While selecting Choghadiya Muhurta, the adverse time of Vara Vela, Kala Vela and Kala Ratri should be rejected.

It is believed that all Manglik works done during Vara Vela, Kala Vela and Kala Ratri are not fruitful and don't give the desired results.

How to mark Choghadiya Good or Bad?

The first Muhurta on each weekday is ruled by the weekday lord. For example, on Sunday, the first Choghadiya Muhurta is ruled by the Sun followed by Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars respectively. The last Muhurta of the daytime is also ruled by the day lord.

Hence the effect of each division, either bad or good, is marked based on the nature of the ruling planet. In Vedic Astrology, the time period under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter is usually considered auspicious while the time period under the influence of Sun, Mars and Saturn is usually considered inauspicious. Based on the above information, we can mark each Choghadiya Muhurta as bad or good. It should be noted that bad Choghadiya can also be appropriate depending on the desired work which needs to be accomplished.

Udveg Choghadiya

The Sun is considered a malefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is usually considered inauspicious and marked as Udveg. However, for government-related work , Udveg Choghadiya is considered good.

Char Choghadiya

The Venus is considered a benefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered auspicious and marked as Char or Chanchal. Due to the moving nature of the Venus, Char Choghadiya is considered most appropriate for travelling purpose .

Labh Choghadiya

The Mercury is considered a benefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered auspicious and marked as Labh. Labh Choghadiya is considered most appropriate to start education and to acquire new skills .

Amrit Choghadiya

The Moon is usually considered a benefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered auspicious and marked as Amrit. Amrit Choghadiya is considered good for all type of works .

Kala Choghadiya

The Saturn is considered a malefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered inauspicious and marked as Kala. No auspicious work is done during Kala Choghadiya. However, Kala Choghadiya is recommended for those activities which are performed to accumulate wealth .

Shubh Choghadiya

The Jupiter is considered a benefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered auspicious and marked as Shubh. Shubh Choghadiya is considered good to conduct ceremonies especially marriage ceremony .

Rog Choghadiya

The Mars is considered a malefic planet in Vedic astrology. Hence the time under the influence of it is considered inauspicious and marked as Rog. No auspicious work is done during Rog Choghadiya. However, Rog Choghadiya is recommended for war and to defeat the enemy .
