Schooner Playground

Thanks to a tip from FOB Susan LaRosa, I was able to hustle down to the Fort in enough time to catch this spectacular show. Four of our schooners were together out on the water maneuvering around each other as if on the playground at recess: Adventure, Ardelle, Isabella and Thomas E. Lannon. What a wonderful sight! Looking forward to a great season ahead as well as the Rendezvous event at Maritime July 6-9!!

Monday Afternoon Harbor Traffic

Many of you probably noticed the large yacht anchored in the harbor yesterday and some of you took note of the helicopter flights in the area as well. We were fortunate to spend time with our friends Susan and Leo on their docked boat and could observe the goings-on in the harbor in the late afternoon. This included the Ardelle returning from a sail with the helicopter as backdrop. The copter seemed to return to the yacht, land briefly and then take off again. The Ardelle, the lighthouse and the copter made for an interesting photo opportunity.

Maritime Gloucester

It is all about the light.  On Sunday Rick and I walked around Maritime Gloucester.  It is so wonderful to see all the boats, visitors, Coast Guard and the glowing light.
