About the Book
During the summer of 2023 Schooner Adventurer participated in two events, The Gloucester Schooner Festival in Gloucester, MA, and the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race from Baltimore, MD to Norfolk, VA. Both events were great fun and immensely satisfying. We met new friends and cemented ties with old ones. Herein, you’ll find the log and photos of these two events and hopefully get a feel for the spirit of adventure which they instilled in us.

To be able to pound God’s waters in a spirit of comraderie and joy is one of the great blessings of our lives. To those who have sailed and will sail with me, thank you. Thank you for the smiles, the miles, the songs, cheers, meals, sunsets, races, wins and yes, even the losses. May we ever live our lives to their fullest.
