Schooner Adventure
It seems only one thing is certain, we all need to pull together. What isn't clear is the weather ahead. Much like a schooner on the banks in early spring, the gray fog makes what lies ahead difficult to discern. However, much like shipmates, with teamwork we can weather the storm. For dory mates, out to check their trawl when fog sets in, isolation felt complete. Nothing was more uplifting than the tone of the schooner's fog horn, or the hail from the captain's speaking trumpet; both provided direction, connection and welfare. In that vein, as dory mates, we reach out to you and we hope you will reach out to us. We are here to connect, inform and listen. We plan to share Adventure maritime stories, images and video online in the coming weeks. We are grateful for the engagement with you.
