Greetings!

Four months. That's how long we've been waiting for this day. Ernestina is back at her berth in New Bedford. Now we wait for the promised estimates and results of a complete rig inspection. We know the work has just begun but with DCR's Commissioner Lambert and the Schooner Ernestina Commission as partners with SEMA we WILL reach our goal of seeing Ernestina sailing again.

Fair Winds,

Mary Anne
