The Schooner Virginia Current Position Map

The Schooner Virginia, winner of this weekend’s race is on it’s way to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

On it’s official website they have a tracking device which shows its previous stops and it’s current position.

Click this text to check out the live map

Once you click it because the ship is off the coast it will appear to be in a sea of blue, because it is, but if you scroll out a little you can see it’s position on the map in relation to the US and Canada.

Pretty cool stuff.

Downtown Gloucester Block Party

There was fun for all ages. Here one of the dance troupes performs early in the evening.

A recurring comment I heard was that the parents of the kids in the performances went home after the show and got babysitters so they could return once they saw how great the set up was.

I expect even more people next time around.

It Would help If We Untied The Boat Damon!

I laugh as Damon forgets to untie the bowline and makes zero headway rowing.

After realizing he forgot to untie the bow line, Damon had us under way and around the Schooners for some up close pictures.
