This is nice, but you can hardly tell how massive the Pinnace Virginia is. Try this photo... and let Matt know that we can get this printed. #bathisbest #thisisbath (or Boothbay)
Join MFS TONIGHT, Wednesday, June 24, at 7pm for "The Wild Horses of Old Sagadahoc." Award winning professor of anthropology, Dr. Harald E.L.

Here's the latest--our gal Virginia enjoying some sunshine in Linekin Bay after a bit of a wet start from her home dock in Bath this morning.

We saw her from Seguin. Great job to her crew as those seas were not tame this morning.
Word just in that Virginia is passing Popham, noontime, Tuesday, June 23. Sorry, no new photos.
