I was lucky to get the Schooner Adventure sailing past the ship during this weekend’s Trails and Sails event. I think the next largest ships in the Harbor that day were the Schooners Lannon and Adventure.

MAIN STREET WAS HOPPIN!

Shopping for family dinner today on Main Street and at every stop, the shops were bustling!

The Zuiderdam’s shuttle boats were running passengers nonstop all day back and forth across the harbor.
