Hi Joey,
The Adventure has had a very exciting couple of weeks. The Amistad sailed to Gloucester the weekend of August 2, 2013, to assist the Adventure with her rigging and sail installation.
They were amazing. Unfortunately, prior commitments caused them to leave before the Adventure could have her first trial sail.
Ryan Graham, who was directing the efforts in this stage, pulled together an amazingly experienced crew (in only 4 days) to ensure the Adventures first sail trial went smoothly.
With 32 crew aboard, the Adventure left the pier at the Gloucester Marine Railway about 10:20 on Saturday morning, August 8, 2013. Captain Greg was at the helm with Ryan as his
mate. The crew brought up the sails when the Adventure was in the outer harbor, and the Adventure was sailing for the first time in 20 years. What a magnificent accomplishment!
Congratulations to the Adventure, the City of Gloucester, and to all of Adventure’s supporters who never gave up the belief that she would sail again!
Here are some photos of the past few weeks in the Adventure’s life.
