Today as we made our way closer to Boston we were joined again by some curious marine life. The crew was busy with ship’s work including painting, varnishing and tarring. We also conducted some drills in tacking and wearing the ship to make sure we are snappy for the Parade of Sail on Saturday! After dropping anchor outside of Boston Harbor, we had a stunning sunset and the decks were crowded with everyone snapping pictures including Sail Training International’s official photographer Valery Vasilevskiy who has been with us during this passage. Watch for some of his beautiful photography on our website and Facebook page.
