Jeff Cutler word (via FB) from Pride of Baltimore II "PRIDE II is bound for the cooler waters of Portland, Maine, where she is expected to arrive on Thursday & berth at Fore Points Marina."

Tell the Baltimore they are headed in the wrong direction. Although, come to think of it, Virginia is a little more difficult to reach if you come in this direction. I guess that’s a lesson in the naming of sailing vessels. That’s above my pay grade, but stop by the freight shed and ask about it. 

Being pursued by the Pride of Baltimore should strike fear into your crew!

I saw the pictures of you together

This is great. Thx for sharing.

Most recent report from our mariners: Approaching Isle of Shoals. Shortly before: Underway with 66 miles to Seguin, going 5+ knots. So, hoping for a morning arrival...
Thanks to Sailor Sarah for the update & images. We will share more if we hear more.

"Approaching the Isle of Shoals... under full sail..."

Jeff Cutler a smidge of info for you.

My home for years! Minor quibble: it's Isles, plural. The Isles of Shoals fishing station is just about contemporary to the original Maine's First Ship, with Englishmen coming over to fish for cod sometime around 1605-1615. Miles Standish came up here to buy cod from the established Shoaler settlement to feed the starving Plymouth colonists not long after the Mayflower landed. A trading post was established on Smuttynose very early on. Dr Nathan D Hamilton has done archeology out there for years.

"Kind be the winds to thee...Call now the southern winds to thee, Go as you might go...In her ways thy keeping be, Kind be the winds to thee...". G.Bok

Thanks for the update- JL

Yay!!!
