Ahoy! Avast! Arrrr!

My nautical "vocabulary" is now exhausted at what seems to be two words and interest. Anyway, I spent a year aboard this puppy one week:


I guess it's a good thing it wasn't that week! I'm not sure what the Robertson II has been used for of late, but I believe she was the last Nova Scotia schooner in service on the Pacific Coast. Sailing on her was lost on a lunkhead like me, but I suspect her former use as a kind of Outward-Bound boat was beneficial to others. It looks like she's staying where she is, until the sea's salt and currents inevitably win out.
