endkaos Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Awwwwwwwwwwwwww ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRgh! What a pretty boat...I mean ship. But then again, I could love any Tall Ship as long as I didn't have to take care of it. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.

capnwilliam Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Aye, Endkaos...I was wonderin' as I read the article how many times the barnacles have had to be scraped from the hull! But just think: in this type of tiny vessel, less than 100 feet long, brave men sailed into an uncharted ocean; into an unknown world. Aye, what brave men they were! :) Capt.

Redvipers Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 I went down to Matanzas Bay this morning to take a look at the Nina. I have posted some photos of here on my site. Take a look, she is beautiful but be damned if I'd want to cross the Atlantic on her. Nina Joseph L. O'Steen, Nautical Author Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
