“Seen by Sea: An Appreciation of the New England Coast” will be the topic at the Lynnfield Historical Society’s 7 p.m. meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Centre Congregational Church in Lynnfield. Writer, sailor, and outdoor adventurer Alison O’Leary will be the guest speaker.
O’Leary will describe her five-week sailing excursion with her partner, John Pike, from Providence, Rhode Island, to Bar Harbor, Maine. They traveled in a 25-foot Catalina sailboat, which she described as “something like camping at sea.” The trip provided a unique view of the rugged 700-mile coastline and even included an encounter with sharks.
O’Leary’s presentation will kick off the 2024-2025 season for the Lynnfield Historical Society. Parking is available behind Centre Congregational Church on Main Street. Refreshments will be served, and all are welcome.
