Heading up Salem Sound toward Misery
and Bakers Islands and Gloucester beyond. (Sep. 5, 2009) |
 |
Salem Sound, still heading to the islands and the channel
between. |
 |
Seas were running two to three feet, the sky was
cloudless. |
 |
Off the coast of Manchester and Magnolia. |
 |
Inside the Gloucester breakwater, passing the historic
Gloucester Sea Jacket Marine Paints factory, long closed but now a
national historic site, I'm told. |
 |
Some of the larger schooners gathered in the inner harbor
preparing for tomorrow's race. |
 |
The schooners Bluenose II (against the dock) and Pride of
Baltimore (on the outside with the raked masts). |

Leaving Gloucester Harbor for Marblehead
at noon. (Sep. 7, 2009) |
 |
A few of the schooners were still at the
commercial dock. |
 |
Approaching Bakers Island. |
 |
A number of other boats were out sailing
though the channel as I entered Salem Sound. |
 |
Homeward bound. (Sep. 7, 2009) |
