We had an absolutely fantastic sunset sail with the Schooner Ardelle to Greet The Fleet for the Rendezvous event this weekend (July 6-9 2023). Maritime Gloucester’s own Executive Director Michael DeKoster joined us and shared some “added value” level information for the passengers regarding schooners and the Rendezvous event. Capt Harold Burnham and intern Tyler manned the sails along with some volunteers and it was just a wonderful evening out on the water. This weekend’s events will be held at Maritime Gloucester at the Harbor Loop as well as at the temporary docks located at I4C2. You can see the schooners up close during the deck tours (more info here). Participating schooners include Columbia, Pride of Baltimore, When and If, Adventure, Thomas E. Lannon, Redbird, Isabella and, of course, Ardelle. It’s going to be a busy weekend but if you can take a sail, I strongly recommend doing so.
