I totally survived and had a lot of fun!
We sailed around to Cypress Island, hiked to eagle cliffs. The next day we sailed to Souci, stayed 2 days there and then sailed to Bowman Bay (all in the San Juans).
Sailing to Bowman bay there was such good wind we actually got to put up the royals!
We got to have watch (waking up at midnight to stand freezing on the quarterdeck for 2 hours is more fun than it seems), and learned alot about exactly how the sails work. We got to be told the story of the HMS Bounty by Evil (Captain Evil Ryan) while sitting belowdecks drinking crappy hot chocolate and it was AWESOME. (He's a really good storyteller).
I also got to hear some pretty interesting stories about the filming of PotC1 from Ann (captains wife, really nice).
And I also noticed the competativeness between the tallships on the west coast. Like once we were on Cypress, and this schooner goes by called the Zodiac, and one sailor's just like "There goes the Zodiac. You know.... THEY'VE got a plasma screen TV...." and apparently tall ship sailors call the rigging of the HAwaiian Cheiftan (Lady's sister ship) the "jackass rig" because its not historically accurate and its all patchworked together from different eras.
Anyway it was really really really cool!!!!
oh, and by the way, if one more person goes "Arr!" and hooks an index finger at the Lady Washington I will kill someone. She's NOT a pirate! And now the sailors hate all pirate references!!!









Me ... I love Cap'n Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. But I also love to mock him, I wonder why? You may also mock any other characters or actors from POTC and they will be considered as an entry.
