Great Cove is the way it should be in summertime: 12 ½- foot Herreshoffs and Havens dashing here and there on the breezes like water bugs. They’re in the hands of mostly novice students who are attending a class called Elements of Sailing I at the WoodenBoat School.
The class should be called The Joy of Sailing I. What could be a better subject to learn by doing than sailing? Where else would be better to do it than the famed sailing waters of Down East Maine? Lucky students.
Yesterday, as you see, heavy heat haze and occasional cloud shade sometimes painted the Cove scene in dramatic, moisture-laden light that turned long distance (500mm) images into watercolor studies.
