It is wonderful, Sheila

I love those - so pretty. Maybe someday I'll get to sail on one.

I liked your thought for Kim. I'm not a 'good sailor' yet love reading about the days of sail. Even on a relatively small ship like this just look at all that rigging...great photo, Sheila, thanks. josh

Wouldn't it be fun if we could rent a ship like that for a couple of weeks and just take off somewhere? That would be as much fun as Jan's bus.

I'll look into it, Marda if you like. First of all you'd have to get to the west coast ...

Might not be comfortable quarters but splicing the mainbrace together would be fun:)

Whatever happened to those Barefoot Cruises I used to see advertised. They take off on the Eastern Seaboard, and it's in a sailing ship and not your typical cruise. Always wanted to do that, and almost had the dh convinced, except he doesn't eat seafood and I think that's the typical meal.
