A time lapsed glimpse of the first annual Schooner festival on West Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, Michigan. This was the Grand Parade of Sail on Friday eve. The ships met near Power Island in West Bay and then sailed down to the open space and ultimately docked for public viewing. Wonderful to see in person.
