A Spring Evening

A Spring Evening and some Swimming.





The Icy water swimmers, Christel, Jackie, and Sheyenne (Sorry I can't remember the spelling!)

Josh really having a wash with soap.

Taking the Test of our lives!


Best bunk reporters.

A lax day on the deck.



Our Radio room where we yell into the mic, "MAY DAY, MAY DAY!!!!"


"What the Binnacle!"

The wheel.


The entrance to the boys courtiers.

"DINNER TIME!"


More latter!

My sailing trip day 2

Part two, Day whatever...



And this is everyone on the steps of the Parliament buildings. I'm the tallest in the back.


Looking down the spreaders! I felt like King of the world up there!

This is the crews area. The first bed is Tristian's!

This was my first time up out of nine and I wasn't going back down for a good thirty minutes. As you can probably guess I liked it up there.

They didn't even know I was up here until I yelled at them.



This boat was half sunken but it was still floating!
Rowing ashore!

This otter fallowed us for a short while.

The lake we had our boat in had a little entrance to the sea, boy was it cool!


Then we found this huge log and took pic of it although I'm not sure why...What the Deck!

The rocky beaches.

I love this picture!



Sitting in the whiskers was very comfy.



Looking forward the bowsprit.

We caught up with the Swift and beat them back.

The Swift.


Nathan, Chris and Josh using the chimney as a heater. It was a great Idea and we didn't stink of smoke after for some reason.

The skylight!

My dream bedroom door.


This is the half way point from here on we were going back. :-(

Full speed ahead!

And here is my watch officer, Tristian Hedley.

This is the main sail.Late noon. We would stay on watches for four hours per day.

This ferry was really a lot closer than it looks!The Captain's deck house!


The boys Deck house or skylight.

Here is a video of the froward bow.

Frodo Bagens!


You should see him with his hood up at night!

Getting ready for the swim!

To be continued!
