Dear Shipmates,
Believe it or not we will be setting up a volunteer day soon to clean and maintain Ernestina’s spars presently stored in Building 2 on the State Pier in New Bedford. Boothbay Shipyard will be down next week to pick up the live oak that is useable for the present work being done.
We need your help and enthusiasm for the following events that we will be participating in:
- July 26, Cape Verdean Products, Services and Cultural Festival, Roxbury Community College, Boston
- August 2-3, Salem Maritime Festival, Derby Wharf, Salem, MA
- August 9, Cape Verdean Festival, Onset, MA
- August 23-24, Antique & Classic Boat Festival, Salem, MA
- August 30-31, Schooner Festival, Gloucester, MA
- September 27-28, Working Waterfront Festival, New Bedford
Leah Jeffries and I will be at the Merrimack River Maritime Festival in Salisbury over this weekend 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and hope to see you there! Thanks as always for your dedication and support.
Best regards,
Paul
