I received an anonymous comment telling me there is a nice photograph of SPARTINA in the current Spinsheet Magazine. And there is SPARTINA at bottom right, a solo sail on morning near the tall ships LADY MARYLAND and the AJ MEERWALD. What caught my attention, though, were some of the numbers that they listed for the Downrigging Festival. A few of the numbers are below.
9 Tall Ships
1094 Tall Ship sailing tickets sold
8500 Tall Ship tours given
36 additional wooden boats on display
8-10,000 Visitors to Chestertown
12 Bluegrass bands
30 hours of live music
7,000 oysters shucked
And now you know why I enjoy the Downrigging Festival so much!
