Another poignant passing: The WoodenBoat School’s 2024 year officially ends today. All of the School’s boats are out of the water and Great Cove seems like a vacant parking lot, albeit the most beautiful one you’ll ever see.
The sights, sounds, and smells of sailing, boatbuilding, and other maritime-oriented activities are gone from the campus until June of 2025. As you see here, the grounds yesterday were littered with boats and equipment being prepared for winter storage or transportation elsewhere.
