Another year and I still did not manage to get up to Gloucester for the Schooner Festival and Race. Oh well. Maybe next year I’ll drag my catboat up for the catboat races. Congratulations to all the captains and crews who competed in the Mayor’s Cup with special congratulations to Captain John Foss on American Eagle, Captain Matt Suphin on Tyrone, and Captains Russ & Heidi Mead on Tillicum 1, winners of the Esperato Cup, the Ned Cameron Cup and the Betty Ramsey Plate, respectively.
This morning was the start of the Fisherman’s Cup Race from Gloucester to Provincetown, which kicks off the Great Provincetown Schooner Regatta, which begins today and runs through Friday. Click her for a schedule of events.
