Windjammer Parade

The last four-day cruise was a keeper! It was the weekend they had the Windjammer Parade in Rockland, what a pretty sight! So great to see the many windjammers of Maine as they went by the Rockland Breakwater on Friday. They are all such pretty ships, especially Angelique!

We had a nice sail after the Windjammer Parade, back to Pulpit Harbor. There was an awesome sunset followed by a full moon rise. On Saturday evening we had a lobster bake on Wreck Island in Merchant's Row. Stephen set a new lobster consumption of 17!! Needless to say, he didn't have any pie for dessert.

We had some lively sailing on Sunday -- 9 knots to windward, not bad for the old girl! Monday's breeze was a surprise on our way home to Camden, 8 knots with only the lowers set; it was a warm northwest breeze. Lots of Happy Campers and smiles.

 It's a lot cooler on the water than on the mainland!
