We’ve just had a fantastic weekend with Dave’s sisters, Cherie and Kelly. Last winter, while researching sloops, Cherie came across Harold A. Burnham. She called us on Christmas day and announced that she was giving us a cruise on a boat from Gloucester, MA. On Father’s Day weekend. I’m sure we said “Thank you” and pretty much forgot about it.

Lucky for us Cherie did not forget because we went on the cruise on Friday with Cherie and Kelly and it was wonderful.
Here is a photo of boat captain, Harold Burnham lowering the foresail with assistance from Simon and Charlie.

We began the day at the Burnham shipyard in Essex and finished it in Gloucester, having sailed all the way around Cape Ann.
