Hawaiian Chieftan is coming home.

November 10, 2005

13:00 EST the Tall Ship Hawaiian Chieftain departed the dock in

Greenport, New York bound for San Diego, California via the Panama

Canal. After entering the Pacific Ocean she will sail north to

rendezvous with the Tall Ship Lady Washington in Southern California.

The two ships will then sail in company northbound to Hawaiian

Chieftain's new homeport in Westport, Washington.

Tonight the Hawaiian Chieftain will anchor in Little Neck Bay, New York

and tomorrow morning she will proceed through Hell's Gate with the

ebbing tide. After a salute to friends and fellow sailors at South

Street Seaport, they will set a course past Liberty Island for the open

sea.

Although her next scheduled port of call is Miami, weather on the East

Coast may cause our ship's Captain to deviate from the plan for the

safety of our ship and crew.

Once in Miami they will fuel up, take on provisions and clear outbound

customs for the downwind run through the Windward Passage to Panama.

While in Miami the ship will also receive a new ship's computer and

satellite phone which will ensure daily e-mail updates of the voyage

progress. As we did with the Lady Washington on her return from the

Caribbean, we will forward these reports along with other information,

photos, weather and related website information (You can watch online

as

the ship travels through the Panama Canal!).

If you would like to receive the Hawaiian Chieftain's Ship's Log, just

send an e-mail to our Marine Operations Manager, Bob Kennedy at

ghhsabob@comcast.net <mailto:ghhsabob@comcast.net> and on the subject

line write Subscribe HAWAIIAN CHIEFTAIN log.

We are excited about this new addition to our fleet, and will be

eagerly

watching her progress. We hope you will join us!

wait! is there something in this for pyrates? is the timeline for reaching the world famous San Diego harbor within this years end or just after? I mean hell what we have here is an excellent opportunity to get all fussed up and invade the docks in garb! Lets start a thread once we find out if they (the ships people would appreciate a say a hundred or so bored with basketball pirates) and find out if we all can come down to the docks in San Diego and welcome them in and entertain all the looky loos visitin the ships there!

She'll be here in about 3 weeks meeting up with the Lady Washington. As far as showing up as a pirate, it depends on who is Captaining the Lady Washington. Sometimes the Captains aren't too fond of pirates and take all the fun out of it. I wonder if Royaliste is going to join in any of the battle sails? Those would be the ones to show up in garb for. :)
