It has been all about tall ships for the last couple of weeks. First, a week-long trip to Richmond on the Schooner Virginia for a three-day tall ship festival. Then, a day after returning from Richmond, Sail250 Virginia with dozens of tall ships on the Norfolk waterfront. Those ships are leaving today, bound for Baltimore. Yesterday I brought SPARTINA home for some much needed maintenance. The usual epoxy, varnish and painting, of course. Plus some rigging work. She has had a lot of wear and tear the last year or so.My thanks to Ben for the photograph. He falls into the category of friends I have never actually met. We have been in touch one way or another for the last couple years but I wouldn't have known him if I saw him. On Sunday I did see Ben for the first time, a wave across the water. for a Pilot boat. I hope to meet him in person in the next month or so. Thanks, Ben, for the nice photograph.
