the Royaliste Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Actually, the Eastern Seaboard is a late part of this 'ere adventure. After leaving the Great Lakes and traveling down the historic corridor in New York, we'll work RR way down the ICW, booking all possible venues(ports, museums, maritime assn.s) until we hit somewhere warm enuff to winter, betwixt Virginia and Cuba, and then....Tallships Challenge2007 is on the East Coast, racing from Florida north.........Basically, we're looking at two yars or more for these legs.......

Sjöröveren Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 We will definately be at either Chicago or Green Bay! And I will begin lobbying ASTA to add Duluth, MN to the ports of call. Lake Superior can't be left out, it's more like the open sea than any other Great Lake. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Royaliste Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Go for it!!..Pyrates always welcome aboard Royaliste..Personally, I'd like to see Duluth/Superior added, but it takes a lot of dubloons in any given community to put one of these events on..As a former resident of the Iron Range, I'd gladly put in to port, but that said, Superior can be a tuff nutt to crack in the summer, when prevailin' Westerlies give way to strong Southwesters...dead on everyone's noses it'd be, eh??...A fun ride out, anyhoo!.At present, the only addition I've heard of is possibly Toronto('York' in RR century)...

the Royaliste Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Fresh scuttlebutt from the ASTA conference being held in Bay City, Mich. Looks as though Toronto is onboard as a host port, but no date announced yet. It'll be ahead of Cleveland. The Royaliste is now positively committed to these events. We'll decommission her in mid-May, ship her to Cleveland, and start the recommissioning process in a yet to be named marina. Bad news is that something always gets 'screwed up' during shipping. Good news is that we'll still be on the West Coast till spring(unless something else 'interesting' pops up).... ..........Whale watching season starts soon; not 'piratey', but waaay cool!
