Last Day of the Pirate Festival / Regatta


La Diva as we are tacking out of the mooring
field to the race course

Today was the last day of the Pirate Festival / Regatta. Had the chance to sail on an IOD 30' 1930's Sloop with Skipper Steve & Mates Chris & Evan. There were two races, one longer one that we actually place first and the second race that we finished third in to take second overall. Great time sailing one of these old classics.

a lot of attention)


Many people were dressed in theme for the Festival.  Spent the evening at the Mug & Anchor Pub listening to "Raggae Roots" play all evening. The place was packed as  outside a re-enactment of the burning of the Teazer took place.


Tomorrow, lifting anchor to spend a couple days sailing among the many islands of Mahone Bay, keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Bertha as it builds and starts it's track north eastward.  If the forecasts look bad, will head for a mooring at South Shore Marine in Chester Basin.

More Later,

Dave & Wharfy
