Sailing ship in the Bocayna

[John B]

I noticed this sailing ship/boat moving slowly along the Bocayna this evening.  It was a bit far away for my camera, so I've cropped and blown up the image as much as I dare.  It did look nice - and level .

[Josie]

Nice.

[Josie]

Ketch, schooner or there is a third option possibly yawl?

[John B]

From my intensive (3 mins with Google images) research, I think it was a schooner.

[Josie]

Beautiful.

If you see them again John, ask if they need a chief engineer.

[John B]

I wiil.  Do you have any formal carpentry, sail mending or rope making qualifications I could offer them?

[Clanky]

A fair bit of experience on a sailing brig called TS Royalist, both as the engineer and as bosun, I had the trip as bosuin stamped in my seaman's book, always raises a few eyebrows!

OK, I'll be round with a press gang and a belaying pin next time you're in port, me hearty, har har.
