@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 it's only the still ocean if it's between the us and east asia, else it's just sparkling ocean.
@th thanks for all the lovely photos! Reminding me of the many many hours I spent as a kid poring over nautical diagrams to tell a t’gallant yard from a jib boom… and also how many of the nautical terms have been inherited into theatrical stage rigging (boom, cleat, clew, etc)
@th I wasn’t aware ships carpenter was a career I could aspire to
@cinebox it’s challenging with only hand tools in cramped and rolling conditions but maybe that’s the job for you!
@th That is one lovely repair well made!
@th no steel lines?
@th That's so cool! Is it powered by the capstan?
@th for the handling of modern sails ?
@th great photos
@th En.. nog iets verkocht? ;)
@th
These photos are incredible, I wouldnt believe they were real, or were staged in a movie or something unless I saw the rest of the thread. Absolutely beautiful
@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! 🙃
Sheet and tack.
