Three Finger Jeff Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 On Sunday, my 1st mate and a couple of sea dogs spent the afternoon aboard The Lady Washingon ( you know who she is ).We had a battle enactment with The Hawaiian Chieftan. If we had live ammo, The Cheiftan whould be with Davey Jones. There wasn't much wind, but it was a glorius day, and a good time was had by all. If you are on the West coast, and have a chance to go aboard The Lady, do not pass it by. The captain and crew were all geat, and very willing to pass on knowledge and stories.

Desert Pyrate Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 There wasn't much wind, but it was a glorius day Aye, it was beautiful. There wasn't much wind in the mornin', but by the time us aboard the Royaliste saw you all on the other side of the bay bridge, we had caught a ton of wind and were heeled over beautifully making our run into Sausalito. Noticed the Lady had her heads'ls and squares down off in the distance... the wind must not have made it over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Aye, it was beautiful.

Noticed the Lady had her heads'ls and squares down off in the distance... the wind must not have made it over there. That's because the Royaliste stole all the wind or maybe the wind gods just love the Royaliste's figurehead too much to share. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Saber Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I do believe the LW and the HC were on the far side of the bridge so they might engage in battle for the entertainment of those they had aboard, I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Royaliste. Sunday was a great day later in the afternoon, searching for wind was the call of the day and by the luck of Posiden we found it on the way back to home port. NO doubt our paths will cross again, we'll all swell up with pride for the ships we sail, as it should be. Enjoy the wind, sea and powder and leave any other baggage behind I says.

AkashaZuul Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Keeping behind Treasure Island for the sea battle may have been a smart move by the Lady's captain, actually. Although we were having a great time heeled over sailing in the wind, the tide and winds were conspiring to push us around a great deal in a way that might have made quick turning and firing off the cannons a bit tricky, especially with that many people aboard in the way. It's also apparently quite hard to light a cannon in the wind! The powder blows everywhere, the matches won't stay lit. . . I know about them tides 'cause I was the one steering, and got to turn left and watch us go right instead. This was rather fun until we kept creeping closer to the rusty metal barges and their huge buoys and chains. -Jennifer "Let them eat cake.

Sinclaire Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Me thinks we gots some slow learners here. Still be some rocks bein` thrown by thems wot lives in glass houses . Arrgggh ! Some of ye needs to wise up an` recognize that ya don`t know e`rythin ya think ya do . So ease off tha Lady an` tha Chieftain an` any other ship ya don`t think lives up to yer shallow standards of what ya think deserves yer respect . Most good sailors don`t give a tinker`s damn what ya think about their ships . They just be sailin` along , makin` a livin` from tha sea whilst tha rest o` ya here jez be playin` on it . So get o`er it already an` just play wif them who be willin` to engage wif ya an` don`t fret o`er the rest . I been makin` my livin` off da sea too damn long to claim one ship be finer than tha other . So long as a boat be maintained proper an` treated wif da respect it deserves , it IS a fine ship an` damn tha fools that say otherwise . :angry: Do unto others.... because it`s fun !?!

Desert Pyrate Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Arr.... I don't think we've got anyone here who's been bashing any ships. It started out as a "I enjoyed my day on the Lady," which I followed up with a "Yeah, wasn't it a great day, we saw you guys. Didn't look like there was wind over there." From there a question was raised, which was answered. We're all bein' civil, I think. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sinclaire, ye old seadog READ MY LIPS :angry: I was not Lady bashing...I was asking why her captain would sail into a NO GO Zone. AkashaZuul understood what I was asking and answered my question quite graciously. If you bothered to know me, you would know that my goal is to someday be a volunteer on the Lady Washington (or any Tall ship at this point). You would also know that I follow the Lady Washington and her crew quite closely. Many a guest captain of crewed her this fall and I hold no ill will to any Tall Ship. Now, have a round of rum on me and drink to all the beauties of the sea, ships, mermaids, female captains. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

I'm going to back up Desert Pyrate, Pyrate, and Black Hearted Pearl...As I read it...they were merely stating a fact, and hoping all was well. I think the only people in "glass houses...throwin' stones" are those who seem to be finding the slightest offense the moment the LW and HC are mentioned in any capacity on any post...as of late.
