This event kicks off the schooners coming down the coast to Boothbay Harbor for the 50th Annual Windjammer Days Festival in Boothbay Harbor.
Dr. Aqui Alamo pulled the last line for the schooner Timberwind as it set sail and the doctor began a nearly 50-mile run from Rockport to Boothbay Harbor in a race against the Timberwind. The doctor's sons handed him his torch and ran the first few miles with him towards Route 90 as the Timberwind motored out to open water.
Alamo is expected to cross the finish line between 3and 4 p.m. this afternoon at the Whale Park on Commercial Street in Boothbay Harbor.
Video: Alamo waves goodbye to the Tassis and the crew of the Timberwind, recevies the Windjammers Days torch, and sets off toward Boothbay Harbor with his family.
