The bow of the Lady
Washington
The obligatory
cannon shot. In this case, a three pounder....
Time to set sails
and the crew goes aloft...
I was almost bumped
by a Microsoft charter, but in the end, I was invited to join them, I am an
alumnus after all. So it was free! Thanks to both Bills!
That's a log of
rigging...!
Caulking the old
fashion way, with heated pitch.... .
I am terrible with
names, I believe this was Stephanie, going aloft for some routine repairs...
Heading back to our
berth in Kirkland...
The gender ratio
among the crew was darn close to 50-50
That's five of the
crew up in the rigging, getting ready to open the sails...
Thanks to one
Microsoftie, we know exactly what time the cannon was set off...
The sails unfurled,
but alas, virtually no wind was to be seen on Lake Washington that day...
bummer...
A shot of the crew
as we were leaving the ship. Thanks all!
And I went back on
Friday, to get some shots of her coming in... worked out pretty darn
good...
Starting the 180
degree turn that brings her up against the dock...
A bit farther into
the turn, just about along side the dock... the last photo I am posting on this
series...
