Tall Ships






We went down to Tacoma to see the Tall Ships on Independence Day. It was awesome. I find it hard to describe how exciting it was being on these ships--some of them exact replicas of real ships like the Nina and the Lynx--and imagining what it must have been like for the people who sailed, fought, and immigrated on them. The ships were so beautiful as they headed up the Foss waterway for their cruises, and it redoubled my determination to learn how to sail. Just need to wait for the boys to get a bit older.

If you do learn to sail, you could be getting yourself ready for a 21st Century career!

Cap'n Matt - (Commodore Matt)? Now I'm thinking about Mojo Nixon. Random! Have a good day!
