Here you see the schooner Mary Day weighing anchor while getting help from her yawl boat in light air on Wednesday.
She was in Great Cove after overnighting here. According to her schedule, she was on a four-day cruise to celebrate the summer solstice while also visiting Down East lighthouses.
Mary is a 125-foot schooner with classic mercantile coastal cruiser lines, but she was built in 1962 just for passenger cruises. (She reportedly has heat in every tourist cabin.) She was built in South Bristol, Maine, and named after the wife of the late Captain Havilah Hawkins, Senior, who designed the vessel and owned her for about 20 years.
