A little story - I went down today to fish a little and see what the
wind and waves looked like with the intention of taking the Contender
out for a ride this afternoon. As I was looking down Fisher's Island
Sound, I noticed the sail and just kind of kept an eye on it until I
realized that it was going to follow the Westerly Reef Channel. Walked
out to the point on the rocks and got these pictures.

That'a a beauty. You can't beat a schooner for looks.
How would you like to buy a suit of sails for the pride of Nova Scotia?

I was involved in the Spirit of Massachusetts when she was built at
Charlestown Naval Shipyard in the mid-80s. I fact, I donated two
planks and got to help lay them on.

Pretty cool.

Now that I think about it, that schooner may have been the Spirit of
Massachusetts - I'll have to check the schedule.

It's flying a South Carolina state flag:
