Sailing Sailing


It's been a week or so since we went sailing on the tall ship Lady Washington.  Finally downloaded photos from my camera which are much better than the ones on the phone.  When you are on a ship you can't see it--only sails and rigging and the crowd of people sharing the boat.  So I took sails--this is topsail and t'gallant.  Kit says being on a tall ship is like being at a theater production--only all the audience is in the middle of the stage.  All around you the crew is hoisting sails and climbing up the rigging and doing all of the work required to sail the ship.  There was enough wind to sail a little--almost to Guemes Island.  We had all the 8 sails up that the Coast Guard allows when there are passengers aboard.
