Here you see the schooner “Mary Day” in Great Cove very early yesterday before her passengers awakened and before it rained. The chilling rains came, the winds didn’t, and “Mary” departed the Cove with only her two mainsails up and a push from her yawl boat. She has no internal engine.
The “Mary Day” is 125 feet overall and hails from Camden, Maine. She was built in 1962 and is a regular visitor to the renowned WoodenBoat School in Great Cove. She may have been on a private charter yesterday; her official schedule shows her beginning trips on June 8. She has the honor of being the first windjammer to visit the Cove this summer.
