Around the world in 1978: 40-year reunion for the ‘Appledore’ crew

On Wednesday, August 22, despite the weather, 12 of the original crew met in Camden to celebrate the 40th anniversary of that sail with a reunion and trip around Penobscot Bay. As one person put it, “we didn’t sail around the world on a sunny day.”
