A fantastic day on Saturday

Schooner Festival is my favorite weekend.  The weather was terrific and the schooners did not disappoint.  We took a sail on the Ardelle to enjoy Gloucester’s beautiful Harbor and other Schooners that were out there.  Thank Harold for a wonderful sail.  We are blessed to live here.

Sunset Sail Adirondack III

Each year for Schooner Fest, we try to select a new schooner to sail aboard. This year it was Adirondack III out of Boston. It’s a lovely vessel and the crew was outstanding in hospitality as well as sailing expertise. Though the “sunset” portion of the evening didn’t quite pan out the way I hoped, we were more than happy to see so many local and visiting schooners out in the harbor as part of Schooner Fest. These included Ardelle, Isabella, Thomas E Lannon, Lewis H. Story, Elizabeth, Phra Luang, American Eagle, and Alert. What a blessing to be able to be out with all these beauties.

Annual Dory Races Held Yesterday

The Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee held the 75th race yesterday at Jodrey Pier. Though we were only able to stay long enough for the Men’s Open, there was a fair number of enthusiastic spectators and supporters on hand from both sides of the border. Congratulations to Sam Taormina and Peter Taormina for winning the Men’s Open. And also congratulations to all the participants. It’s so nice to see this type of event held in Gloucester especially in tandem with Schooner Festival as there is so much shared maritime heritage.
