Beige sailing yachts and bright green t-shirts dominated the waterfront this past week-end as the 16th Biennial Maine Island Packet Rendezvous hosted by Norm & Mary Pierce of Pierce Yacht Company took place at Captain Fish’s Waterfront Inn. Twenty eight Island Packet Yachts and 65 owners from all over the east coast and Caribbean sailed or drove to the harbor to participate in seminars on cruising the Maine Coast, boat maintenance and operation, and two very special presentations by Pauline Dion of the Boothbay Sea & Science Center and Levi Johnston of the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard. The three-day event included an evening banquet superbly presented by the staff at the Boothbay Harbor Inn and concluded with a fantastic Sunday morning breakfast at Cod’s Head Fish House & BBQ at Captain Fish’s Waterfront Inn.
