Hi Folks;
Just got back from a No-Cal trip. Here are a few pics from an old wooden 60' sailing ship called a scow. It?s the last of its kind from the late eighteen hundreds and let me say what a treat. You'd be surprised at the work out to run sails up and man lines. Pulling the ship off the dock was indeed a heave-ho. If you look close in one pic you can see the Golden Gate in the back ground. The vessel skirts the bridge but does not head to open waters. The Bay is much larger than I remember with changes in water from chop to calm to soaked were all part of the fun.
Enjoy
