More of the Gloucester Schooner Festival!
As I continue to highlight the 2012 Gloucester Schooner Festival I should point out the only disappointment was not seeing the HMS Bounty under full sail during the parade. It would have been a nice addition to a great day.This year the crowds appeared larger than recent years not only shore side but the spectator fleet as well. Hopefully next year the festival will include Canada's Bluenose II which has been under going a total rebuild and many more tall ships.
Along for the ride was Steve Borichevsky, check out his amazing work!
