withoutaname Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's been 5 months since we booked our trip that we finally get to go on this weekend! We are going on an overnight sailing trip on the Schooner Brilliant out of Mystic Seaport in CT. Although we have not yet gone on the trip, some of the blog posts I have read about it seem pretty awesome! I'll post the pictures when we get back- but I already think we will want to do it again! Anyone on the Pub do this trip? "It is more like I am transitioning from a pirate hobby to the pirate lifestyle"- me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matusalem Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've been up close to the Brilliant tho never been on it. If you happen to be driving up I-95, you can see the masts from the 'Scenic Overlook' on the side of the highway. Have a wonderful trip! Tell us your story when you return.

Coastie04 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've been onboard (at the dock), and seen her underway many times when I was at the Coast Guard Academy. Even raced against her, though in a different class. She's pretty, and fairly fast, but takes too long to tack and is of an older design that makes it almost impossible to compete. However, the sailing should be a blast. Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
