I just returned from the annual Friendship sloop Homecoming and Regatta in Rockland Maine. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones, and it was particularly nice to see so many of these lovely vessels in one place.

2008 Friendship Sloop Gathering
Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, I over scheduled myself, so the ship’s wolf and I had to drive back and forth several times between Rockland and the mountains while the event was going on, and we missed a lot.
We did get to go out on Saturday and sail, and I took some video of some of the racing and will put some of that up on this site as soon as I get a chance to do some editing…stay tuned.
