Wait; you saw this great picture heading last month's newsletter. But we totally failed to attribute it to the proper artist: Len Burgess. Len is a member of the Gloucester Schooner Festival and took this picture from the schooner Ardelle.

Whether you come for the sailing or workshop, it's a fun trip with a chance to see half a dozen other schooners as they raft up for an evening of music and storytelling.
Nationally known artist, Carol L. Douglas, will be joining us for the trip with her workshop aimed at watercolor or gouache painters, particularly those with an interest in the sea or sailing. No experience? No worries. Carol will have everything you need to get started. The charge for the workshop is $275 in addition to the trip cost of $745.

Most of the images of edibles in these newsletters have been taken by Ralph Smith so it's nice to have a contribution form him in the postcard division.
