Oh, what a weekend. The Schooner Festival is definitely on the top of my favorites. Sunday the weather was amazing, sails, sun and blue ocean. Thank you to the committee and Maritime Gloucester for this great event.

Sunset Sail on the Thomas E. Lannon
A great sunset sail with Captain Heath Ellis and his crew on the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon.
Also try to catch the seagulls fly in murmuration at sunset.
“Birds fly around at sunset because they exchange information on feeding sites found in the day while flying in a murmuration. Seagulls like starlings tend to fly in murmurations in circles at sunset to provide protection against predators and to keep warm before roosting when night falls.”

SCHOONER LANNON ON A GLORIOUS SUNSET SAIL
In addition to sunset sails, did you know the Lannon also offers Moon-gazing sails!?!
Winner of the Best of North Shore “Best Charter Boat” for the past three years in a row, and it’s no wonder ❤
Visit the Schooner Lannon’s website for a complete list of sailing adventures–
Picture yourself relaxing on the deck of this beautiful 65- foot schooner as she sails out of Gloucester harbor on a light southwesterly breeze.
Join us for a two hour sail and get a taste for what it was like to sail on a fishing schooner a hundred years ago. Help the crew raise the sails, or just sit back and take in the sights and sounds of Gloucester’s coastline.
Some of our weekend public sails feature music. We offer group rates. And we specialize in private charters for weddings, corporate entertainment, teambuilding, birthdays and more. The Lannon is a great place for a party!
