With the perfect weather that we’ve been having, I figured some of my readers might like to see an image of sailboats in the waters of Marblehead. Today’s shot comes from April 23rd and a view of sailboats participating in the Jackson Cup. This is by far my favorite event of the season as the moorings in the harbor remain empty for the most part allowing the boats to pass in front of several Marblehead landmarks.
I’ve shared one image from the races on this particular afternoon with the boats crossing in front of Abbot Hall. I watched the sailboats racing in Marblehead Harbor for a while after taking the earlier shot and captured this image as they moved further up to cross in front of St. Michael’s steeple, Grace Community Church and Crocker Park. You can even make out the Herreshoff castle in this image.
