Schooners Any Way You Can Get Them

Since I am going to miss the 40th annual Schooner Fest this weekend, I have been trying to “absorb” schooner experiences any way that I can. Last week we took a lovely sail with the Thomas E. Lannon and were entertained by Chris + Joe. Several friends also came along on this practically perfect sunset sail. If you haven’t gone on a schooner sail recently, this is the weekend to do it! Highly recommended any time but especially during Schooner Fest. Check Maritime Gloucester for details. Thank you Heath for another amazing experience on the Lannon! **You may notice these photos resemble a recent post from Nichole, who also documented the event in her special amazing way** Thanks for the inspiration Nichole.
