The fleet from the coast of Maine parades into Boothbay Harbor each year...this is the 74th year, so we're told!! They always choose two days in the middle of the week in June near the end of the month and for the past several years, we've had fog and overcast! The first day our town was almost deserted and events were poorly attended, but Day Two found town crowded with people here to watch the spectacle of these gorgeous sailing vessels sailing into the harbor. What a sight!

 AM June 23: It's Windjammer Days and the town is deserted! It's a day much like any other with people going fishing... |
 ...tourists sitting watching the world go by and... |
 ....desserted adirondacks at Ocean Point! |
 June 23 is Pemaquid Poet's Day, so I go to the usual haunts... |
 and even though it's a cloudy day, the flowers and |
 ...scenes are lovely! |
 Don't you think? |
 June 24: Day Two of Windjammer Days and ... |
 ....though it's very overcast; foggy if anything, |
 ...the weather makes for lovely imagary and .... |
 we end up at the Tugboat with a window on the harbor! |
 They come parading into the harbor....one, two, three, four, five of them! |
 Later we drive over to the other side of the harbor for another perspective. |
 |
 The Old Nellie B and one of the schooners. |
 What a way to enjoy the parade! |
 But other people are still more interested in fishing! |
 And some patriots watch in the moisture...no fear, old faithful will protect her! |
 June 25: The morning after, the schooners are still in port and... |
 ,,,it is very foggy, but that just adds to... |
 ,,,the mystery of the harbor! |
 There's something about fog that... |
 ...makes one appreciate weather even when... |
 ...it's not particularly wonderful (by most standards). |
 But I think I love this! |
 And I'm not alone...other people are out shooting the vessels this AM! |
 At Boothbay Harbor Boatyard, there's a square rigger, the Friendship of Salem, in for rehauling! |
