If you missed Windjammer Days in Boothbay Harbor, David's photos might give you a feel for the event. This is our start of season shakedown cruise. It's close to home and a fun chance to meet new friends and celebrate Maine's maritime history and traditions.

Headed home. Virginia is leaving Boothbay Harbor to return to her home dock in the City of Ships, Bath, Maine. Expected arrival is in the 7-8pm range tonight (Saturday, June 27) depending on conditions, of course. We wish her & her crew fair wainds!

Just in from Boothbay Harbor: today's crew is ready to push off and bring Virginia back to her home dock. Capt. JB expects arrival in Bath about 7 or 8pm if all goes well. Fair Winds!

There are giants among us...
You might see some of our volunteer docents if you visit Virginia at the Public Landing in Boothbay Harbor today, 10am-3pm, or you might spot some of our volunteer sailors bringing Virginia home to Bath on Saturday. You might not see the many behind-the-scenes volunteers who put in countless hours working on projects on and for Virginia or for our museum space in the Bath Freight Shed--they even renovated a store room into an office space for us. Then there are the folks who plan the programs and events; do the fundraising; write the policies, procedures, and grant applications; sew the historical costumes; stuff the envelopes and hang the posters around town... Here's to those who made our participation in Windjammer Days possible, in every way. Thank you! #nonprofitsmakecommunitiesbetter #volunteersmakeithappen #1607pinnacevirginia #community #historyingenuitycommunity
