Here's a few pics of possibly my last big sea trip, until the next one
I was aproaching the big 6 0h
and we were out for a walk on the river bank and there was the Bark Endeavour, on a visit, tied up beside the Science Centre. Now I've always wondered if I could get up square sailships rigging so here was my chance, a 3-4 day trip to Whitehaven. How would I manage the Futtock Shrouds
No worries, with a young crew, mostly Canadians and Australians all us volounteers had a great time. They took us right up to the highest yardarms and had us setting and furling sails. The experience of a lifetime.
I even managed to fix the outboard moter for them so that we could get the pics of the boat in the Irish Sea.
