Fleet Events in June

Here are the occasions attended by Maine Windjammers this June.

Schooner Gam Week of June 18

A gathering of the Maine Schooners at anchor with a fleet raft-up.


Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor Week of June 25

A town wide celebration in Boothbay featuring a sail parade and fireworks. Large sailing ships from elsewhere sometimes participate. Some in the Maine Fleet do not attend this event. It requires some offshore sailing, often to windward for a significant stretch.

Early Maine Windjammer Schedules

As spring approaches it's a good time to think about June sailing. Here are links to the schedules of the Maine Winndjammers, three at a time.

Giant Texas Windjamming (sort of)

Captain Barry King (Mary Day) has arrived in Galveston to help man the 1877 barque Alissa. He is joined by Captains John Foss (American Eagle) and Kip Files (Victory Chimes.)

His first report....

Ice Age


Due to massive ice accumulation this blogger has temporarily slowed his posting frequency. Meanwhile, take a look at this photo of Stephen Taber as she sails past an ultra modern trimaran and out of Rockland Harbor on July 2nd of last year.. Isn't that nice?
