The 34th annual Maine Windjammer Association Sail-In happened yesterday afternoon at WoodenBoat despite the fact that the weather converted it into a Fog-, Rain-, and Chill-In.

Nine windjammers and their remarkably happy passengers appeared: American Eagle (launched 1930); Angelique (1980); Grace Bailey (1882); Heritage (1983); J&E Riggin (1927); Ladona (1922); Lewis R. French (1871); Mary Day (1982), and Stephen Taber (1871).
