Sometimes stun sails switch sides. Be careful...
@th Is that a split topsail?
@th "Unblank"?
Gesundheit
@th then quit horsing around! 😁
@th Beautiful photos. Crewed on a smaller ship from 1937. Long passages were 1,500 miles. Normal was day sailing w/owner & charter guests in Caribbean, so sails set & furled daily.
Sparkman & Stephens Yacht So Fong, 1937, Hong Kong, Teak 85’ overall. A captain, 1st mate, cook & me.

Reluctantly, I just have to ask what lenses you're using. Is it a magical camera phone or some really serious gear?
The results are great, anyhow.

@th Magnificent views.
@th wow. How much longer are you going to be at sea?
@th man, I envy you this voyage, I've sailed things from moth to a volvo ocean 70, but a fucking tall ship ... 😍
@th you’ve gone outside of the map render area my friend
@th What is your internet connection? INMARSAT?
@th Quite an amazing trip. I hope you (and I'm sure you are) make the very best of it.
@th how do you even manage to get internet while being in middle of nowhere?
cools pictures though :)
@th Or, to quote a classic, "Isn't this a good place to keep a bottle?" :D
@th loving the pics from your journey Trammell.
@th This is a beautiful shot!
@th wow
@th what kinds of speeds are you pulling on that thing, max and average?
@th if this coincidence works, say "hi" to my square dancing and woodworking friend Mark Galipeau who may be crewing on that boat...
Those are Moon flags.
@th if you are on a sailboat and the flag flies backwards, somebody's not doing their job right. or they are reverse parking.
@th never thought about this!
@th I never thought about this, but it seems logical now 😁
@th Super grappig!
@th
Wait, the "Stad Amsterdam" has actual --decommissioned-- cannons on board? 😳
Aah! in case you have to go past pirates of course! Then I hope they're not decommissioned.
@th Hey hey! Will you guys be coming to Copenhagen this year again?
@th ;-) lol
@th
In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.
@th aw, this guest brought snacks!
@th You just have to sail faster! 🙃
@th Did the camera reverse the photo? Because that looks like a port tack. :-)
Are you sure you’re rigging the correct stun sails for the current tack?
