Here’s an abstract collage as it appeared on the WoodenBoat School Campus on March 17. It’s made of big boat white buoys; small boat and line-pickup yellow and red bullet buoys; heavy, rusty mushroom anchors, and chains and other mooring hardware, among other things.
This equipment never was put to use during the pandemic summer of 2020. However, barring unforeseen circumstances, the School’s famous building and sailing classes will be held this summer and this gear will become part of a functional art presentation in Great Cove.
One of the urgent hopes around here is to see, once again, Great Cove on a warm summer’s day, alive with sails on the WoodenBoat fleet, classic schooners, and other vessels. (Brooklin, Maine)
