A Fair Wind...



A few more ships...

It would have been great to see the ships coming in to dock under full sail, but, nevertheless, they were spectacular to see. I especially enjoyed the tour of the Peacemaker with her beautiful wood, great lines and friendly crew.
Before sailing to Brockville, she was in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and before that who knows. But it is nice to think that they might hoist the sails and go where the wind blows them. I have visions of the south seas...

Barquentine ~ Peacemaker, Georgia. A beautiful ship built in Brazil. Finished inside with tropical hardwoods.
Comfortable Wheelhouse

Empire Sandy ~ Tern Schooner. She's a fine looking schooner!
 This schooner sailed up and down the river shooting off its cannons. Definitely a  pirate schooner. Hoist up the Jolly Roger! Bring out the hardtack, and be ready to swing the lead. 
                                                                    Ahoy Landlubbers!
                                                                     
                                                  
Even with all the excitement, the wildlife found time for a nap.
                                            
    
 Thanks for sharing your pics, Bill.

The Unicorn's motto is: "This Ain't No Cruise, Sister. It's The Adventure of a Lifetime."
I did forget to put up the web site http://sistersundersail.org.
Also, I was talking with some of the crew. They were very young and were excited to on board the ship!
