Renata Greene took this shot on Race Day as the Lannon led the Parade of Sail past the Paint Factory.

This shot was taken by Jay Albert from his boat J's Escape.

This lobsterbake shot was submitted by Caroline Schroeder. We liked it enough to use it on our 2005 brochure.

This is a shot of Tom and his friend Capt. Billy Shield, 93,  on his last Race Day sail. (That's Ernestina and Friendship in the background). Capt. Billy was the last of the crew of the Schooner Gertrude Thebaud, who raced against the Canadian Schooner Bluenose in the International Fishermen's Races. Capt. Billy  sailed around the world several times and had plenty of stories to share. He passed away in the winter of 2004.
