I thought I was going on a tour of Boston harbor during the Sail Boston event in the Schooner Ardell. Little did I know the hand built schooner I was on would be part of the parade of sail. With Master Shipbuilder and Captain Harold A. Burnham at the helm with his hand picked crew I had the most amazing time of my life, it was a once in a lifetime experience which I will never forget. Captain Harold and his crew was very attentive to every single person on the ship and showed his skill sailing around Boston Harbor during the parade.
