Happy sailing Virginia. See you in Boston Harbor on Sunday. I'll be on the Spirit of Boston. 🙂
Have the best trip!!
One part of preparing for SailBoston is today's Meeting of the Docents. Folks are gathered to talk about expectations for meeting & managing larger numbers of visitors in a different environment. The last few days have been busy with loading supplies & provisions for the sail to Boston, and today everyone was happy to see the arrival of a custom sunshade for the deck. This is a big adventure for MFS! Plans are for Virginia and crew to depart tomorrow morning (7/8, 8-9am) heading for Boston with expected arrival on Friday, July 10, ready to join the Parade of Sail on Saturday, July 11. #1607pinnacevirginia #sailboston2026 #Sail250 #volunteerpowered #historyingenuitycommunity
Is this the longest voyage from Bath? If not, what was? Thank you.
Safe travels
See you all in Boston - Thanks for all you do 🙏👍❤️
Join MFS this Wednesday when our lead rigger and award-winning author Jim Nelson/James L. Nelson explores the history behind European rigging and Virginia's rigging as part of our #summerlectureseries. (He's a bona fide storyteller, folks, you don't want to miss this.) #historicalrigging #1607pinnacevirginia James L. Nelson #ingenuity #historyingenuitycommunity
Will this be recorded so I can listen to it?
This is it!—your last chance to be part of the excitement of the Parade of Sail, surrounded by dozens of vessels, thousands of spectators, and one of the largest maritime celebrations in the country. You could experience it all from the deck of Virginia during the Sail Boston 2026 Parade of Sail on Saturday, July 11.
